THE   ROUTE. 


WHILE  those  purctiHsiiig  excursion  | 
tickc!t8C!in  Htttrtouany  regiilHr  train  \ 
July  7th  or  8th,  the  excursion  proper  will  I 
leave  Detroit.!  uly  7th,  at  11.10  p.m.,  by  the  I 
Canada  Southern    Railroad,   arriving  at 
Niagara  FalU  the  next  morning  al  8..S() 
A.  M.    Seven  and  a  half  hours  will  he 
given  for  seeing  the  Falls,  and  for  break- 
fast and  dinner  at  the  International  Ho- 
tel.   Retiuinin^  seats  in  the  oars  of  the 
Canada  Southern  Uailromi  at  4  i>.  m.,  the 
town  of  Niagara  will  be  reached  at  4.;J0  p. 
M.,  where  the  cars  will  be  exchanged  for 
tlie  steamer  Chicora,  which  after 

CKOSSINQ   LAKE  ONTARIO, 

In  the  day-time,  arrives  at  Toronto  at  6.30 
p.  M.,  in  time  for  the  train  east  on  tl'e 
Grand  Trunk  Railroad,  which  leaves  To- 
ronto at  7..S0  p.  M  (Montreal  tini*').  This 
train  arrives  at  Kingston  the  next  morn- 
ing, J  ul^  9th,  at  l.r)0  A.  M.,  but  the  cars 
containing  passengeri^  for  the  St.  Law- 
rence steamers  are  detached  and  backed 
down  to  the  dock,  wliere  they  remain  un- 
til the  steamer  arrives  from  Toronto  at 
tt  A.  M  The  ride  down  the  St.  Lawrence, 
among  the  Thousand  Islands  and  through 

THK  FAMOUS  RAPIDS, 

Will  take  all  day,  Wednesday,  arriving  at 
Montreal  at  7  p.  m  ,  where  the  interval 
till  9.45  will  be  enjoyed  by  going  to  the 
Windsor  Hotel  for  supper,  and  a  short 
rest.  In  planning  the  route,  it  has  been 
thought  best  to  take  the  excursion  direct 
to  the  White  Mountains  without  stopping, 
and  leave  Montreal  for  the  return  trip, 
when  time  will  be  allowed  for  visiting  it. 
There  are  reasons  for  this,  one  of  which 
is  that  we  desire  to  get  to  the  Moun- 
tains in  time  to  accommodate  teachers 
who  wish  to  attend  the 

AMERICAN  INSTITUTE  OK  INSTRIFCTION, 

Which  will  hold  its  sessions  July  «th,  9tli, 
10th  and  11th.  The  excursion  will,  there- 
fore, take  the  cars  of  the  Grand  Trunk 
Railroad  at  9.45  r.  m.,  arriving  at  Gorham 
Thursday,  July  10th,  at  8.60  a.  m.,  where 


stages  for  the  Glen  will  be  in  waiting.  As 
the  train  reaches  Island  Pond  at  U.\U  a.m. 
( where  breakfast  will  be  taken),  the  moun- 
tain scenery  between  that  place  and  Gor- 
liam  will  be  p.issed  in  the  day  time.  The 
scenery  passed  between  Montreal  and  Isl- 
and I'ond  is  of  no  specii'I  interest,  and 
nothing  will  have  been  i(»Rt.  Twt>  days 
will  be  allowed  at 

THK  WlllTK   MOUNTAINS, 

As  the  excursion  docs  not  leave  Gorham 
for  Portland  until  Saturday  morning,  July 
12th,  at  8.5;5.  This  interval  will  permit  of 
the  ascension  of  Mt.  Washington,  and  car- 
riage or  pedestrian  trips  to  the  various 
points  of  interest  in  the  vicinity.  The 
last  two  days'  session  of  the  American  In- 
stitute of  Instruction  may  also  be  attend- 
ed, as  described  at  length  on  page  87  in 
this  book. 

THE  SEA  SIDE 

At  Portland  will  be  reached  at  ia.46  p.  m. 
on  Saturday.  July  12t'.i,  where  four  days 
will  be  allowed,  as  the  train  for  Quebec 
will  not  be  taken  till  Wednesday,  July 
16th,  at  2  p.  M.  This  long  rest  is  at  the 
free  disposal  of  the  excursion.  Special 
rates  have  been  obtained  at  the  Gld  Or 
chard  Beach  Hotel,  11  miles  from  Port- 
land towards  Boston,  on  the  Boston  & 
Maine  R.  R.  No  better  aea-side  resort  can 
be  found  on  the  Atlantic  coast,  and  all  the 
privileges  and  novelties  of  the  sea-side 
can  there  be  obtained. 

AN  OOEAN  VOYAGE 

On  a  small  scale  may  be  made  to  Boston, 
by  the  PorHand  Steam  Packet  Company's 
steamers,  which  leave  at  7  p.  m.  The  dis- 
tan(!e,  time  required  and  accommodations 

I  are  tlie  same  as  on  the  Detroit  &  Cleve- 
land line.  By  this  plan  you  arrive  at  Bos- 
ton Sunday  morning  at  7  a.  m.  Sunday 
and  Monday  can  be  siMjnt  there,  and  by 
taking  the  curs  of  the  Boston  &  Maine  R. 
R.,_  which  runs  through  Old  Orchard 
Beach,  this  place  can  be  "  made  "  on  the 

I  return  trip.    If  this  should  be  the  plan

time  of  the  arrival  of  the  ferry  from  I't. 
Levi,  7  A.  M..  to  5  I'.  M.,  when  the  steamer 
leaves  for  Montreal. 

TIIK  l»AY  AT  (ilJEHKC 

Is  ample  to  visit  all  points  of  interest. 
The  fails  of  Montmorenci,  the  .little  old 
French  town  of  IJeauport.  the  citadel  ard 
cathedral,  ai'd  all  other  places  can  be  vis- 
ited, and  these  are  the  chief  points  of  in- 
terest. 

THK   KIDK  ON  THE  ST.  X,AWREN(!E 

From  (iuebec  to  Montreal  will  be  one  of 
the  Miiest  p.irts  of  the  trip  The  steatners 
areas  good  as  the  famous  Hudson  river 
line,  and  as  it  is  daylight  until  8,30  v.  .m., 
the  most  interesting  part  of  the  river  is 
passed  before  dark. 

THE  CITY  OK  MONTRKAl. 

Will  be  reached  Friday  morning,  July 
18th,  where  a  day  or  more  may  be  spent 
in  sight  seeing.  T'  e  city  Is  of  unusual 
interest  to  tourists. 


THK  KKTIIUN  YRIP. 

The  excursion  will  leave  Montreal  at  !(t 
I'.  M.  aiul  return  bv  the  (liand  Trunk  K. 
H.  to  Detroit  without  interruption.  Those 
living  outside  of 

DKTKOIT 

Should  stop  over,  If  |K)8slble,  and  visit  the 
old  "Cltv  of  the  Straits.'  It  possesses 
many  points  of  interest  for  the  tourist. 

Tlia  DESIGN  OK  TIIK  KOTTK. 

The  plan  of  the  excuj-slon  comprehends 
BoniB  of  the  most  beautiful  scenery  in  the 
world,  and  the  route  by  which  these  points 
of  interest  may  Iw  reached  has  been  ar- 
ranged with  direct  reference  to  assuring 
the  comfoit  of  the  tourists.  The  freijuent 
change  from  the  railway  to  the  steamer, 
and  the  return  to  railway,  with  stopping 
places  Interspersed,  will  remove  the  meat 
objectionabie  features  of  traveling. 

TIIK  coo:  KHT  IIOIJTK. 

It  si'ould  be  romeiiibered  by  those  who 
desire  to  escaiie  fn  'u  the  heat  of  mid- 
summer, that  much  of  this  route  is  as  far 
north  as  Lake  Superior.  The  White 
Mountains  and  the  sea-side,  with  the  in- 
vigorating mountain  audse-Hlr,  will  give 
experiences  not  easily  duplicated  by  a 
more  southern  route. 

THK  TIMK  KOK  STAKTINO 

Is  Monday  night,  July  Yth,  at  11.10  v.  m.

from  almost  any  point  in  Ohio.  Indiana  or 
Illinois,  without  traveling  on  Sunday.

.tUNNINO  TI.MK, 

The  various  railroads  centering  at  De-

SLEEPING   CARS. 


r|">IIE  enjoyments  of  travel  are  fjreatly 
X  enhanced  by  the  ease  and  comtort  ob 
tainable  in  the  elegant  Pullman  or 
Wagner  •"  sleepers."  It  Is  questionable 
whether  it  would  be  possible  to  put  $5.00 
where  it  would  "do  so  much  good  "  as  to 
expend  il  in  securing  a  berth  for  all  the 
time  that  will  be  needed  during  the  live 
nights  oftlK)  fourteen  days  of  travel.  Where 
two  travel  lo>^elher,  and  occupy  the  same 
berth,  tne  price  to  each  will  be  as  above, 
but  if  bert  '8  are  used  by  one  person  only, 
the  price  of  course  will  be  double.  Sleep- 
ers from  Detroit  to  Niagara  Falls  'jan  be 
secured  in  advance  by  remitting  $2.00 
when  excurp'.on  ticket  is  purchased. 
Sleepers  for  other  portions  of  the  route 
can  be  secured  after  starting,  aiid  at 
places  stated  elsewhere  in  this  book.  All 
trouble  will  be  avoided,  and  the  manager 
of  the  excursion  »/ill  be  greatly  accommo- 
dated ;  if  the  following  suggestions  should 
receive   doserved   attention.    Let   those 


purchasing  tickets  remi*,  for  berths  for 
the  first  night  at  the  same  time,  and  also 
state  definitely  whether  they  desire  sleep- 
ing accotnmodations  for  the  remainder  of 
the  round  trip.  In  order  that  the  manager 
can  have  time  enough  to  make  necespaiy 
arrangements  by  which  sleeping  cars 
shall  be  where  and  when  wanted,  and  in 
sutiicijnt  number,  it  is  essential  that  he 
should  be  possessed  of  this  infoimation 
as  early  as  jjosnibu-  There  is  no  one 
thir.g  that  will  contribute  more  to  the 
comfort  of  the  excursionist  than  this,  and 
it  should  not  be  overlooked  or  forgotten. 
There  is  also  no  one  thing  that  will  be 
more  appreciited  by  the  manager  than 
the  courtesy  herewith  requested.  No  ob- 
jection will  of  course  be  made  to  letting 
any  one  manage  this  for  himself,  and 
a  surplus  of  sleeping  cai  room  will  be 
provided  for  all  such  a  well  as  for  those 
who  cannot  purchase  tickets  until  the  last 
day.

In  order  to  accommodate  those  desiring

A  HANDY  THING  TO  HAVE  ALONU. 

Dr.  H.  B.  Drake.  Homeopathic  Phar- 
macy, at  228  Woodward  avenue,  Detroit, 
has  prepared  a  small  neat  case  of  Homeo- 
pathio  remedies  for  the  use  of  such  of  the 
excursion  as  a"e  believers  in  Hahnemann. 
It  contains  the  following  12  remedies: 


Aconite. 

Arsenicum. 

Belladonna. 

Bryonia. 

Colocynth. 

Ipecacuanha. 


7.  Mercurius  Sol. 

8,  Nux  Vomica. 
9  Puknilla. 

JO.  Phosphorus. 

11.  Rhus  Tex. 

12.  Veratrum  Alb. 


Dook  of  directions  accompany  eacli 
case  '.vhlch  will  bo  found  sufflclent  to 
guide  the  inexperienced. 

These  remedies  are  those  most  (om- 
raonly  ised. 

The  price  of  case,  with  book,  is  Si.OO, 
and  wMl  be  sent  to  any  address  on  ipt 
of  price. 

NO  CKOWI). 

The  time  required  foi  this  trip  and  the 
price  of  the  tickets  will  insure  a  (holce 
company.  There  will  be  no  crowd  or 
rabble,  no  standing  up  tr  other  difficulty. 
The  onlj  difference  between  this  and  oth- 
er trains  will  be  the  addition  of,  perhaps, 
a  couple  of  extra  coaches  to  the  regular 
trains.  On  the  Canada  Southern  road, 
from  Detroit  to  N"  igara.  the  sleeping  cars 
are  Wagner's,  on  the  Grand  Trunk,  Pull- 
man's. By  two  joining  togetlier  in  secur 
ing  berths  on  sleeping  oars  or  steamlMmts, 
a  saving  of  one-half  is  eitected  to  each. 

YOtr  CAN  STOP  OFF 

At  any  point  aloui^  the  route  eitlier  going 
or  returning,  and  wltliln  th'  limits  of  Uie 
time  allowed. 

CHECKING  BAfJOAGK. 

Trunks  can  be  taken  as  in  ordinary 
travel  and  without  extra  charge,  but  to 
avoid  delay  at  the  custom  houses  it  would 
be  well  to  check  them  from  Detroit  *o 
Gorham  or  Portland  Only  baggape  from 
the  States  to  some  point  in  Canada,  or 
vice  versa,  is  examined.  Ladies  (who 
some  ill-natured  author  describes  as  nat- 
ural  born  smugglers)  sitould  make  a  note 
of  this.

times Jit  a  <v  s  what  to  wear  or  take  for  a 
long  trip,    The  lem  baggage  the  better, 


usually,  80  it  is  best  to  weur  something 
you  are  not  afraid  of  spoiling  and  yet 
I'hat  looks  well  enough  not  to  need  chang 
ing.  There  is  nothing  better  for  a  travel- 
ing suit  than  gray  serge,  which  might  be 
trimmed  with  the  same,  a  contrasting  col- 
or, silk  or  In  any  oilier  of  the  numerous 
ways  fashion  allows  th'.d  season.  Of 
course  gray  serge-  is  not  by  any  means 
the  only  suitable  material,  and  here  as 
well  as  in  the  making  and  trimming,  the 
figure,  taste,  and  means  of  the  wearer  aro 
to  be  consulted.  A  dress  made  of  a  ma- 
teriitl  more  easily  soiled  might  b"  worn 
with  safety  if  protected  from  dust  oy  a 
linen  ulster,  and  from  rain  by  a  water- 
proof. Apropos  of  waterproofs  nothing 
could  be  nicer  than  the  gossamer  ones, 
now  for  sale  at  from  $3  upwards,  which 
are  so  fine  and  light  that  tliey  take  up  al- 
most no  room,  and  are  perfe«*ly  Imper- 
vious to  water.  They  are  made  of  the 
Hnest  rubber  cloth  and  will  last  for  years. 
Newcomb,  Endlcott,  •&  Co.,  Detroit,  have 
a  large  stock  of  them  Many  ladles  will 
have  some  dress  that  tli"iy  are  not  afraid 
of  spoiling,  and  that  will  be  suitable  for 
traveling.  In  such  a  case  it  \\  uld  be  fol- 
ly to  have  one  made  for  the  ov^caslon.  Of 
the  twj.  It  is  raucii  better  taste  to  be 
dressed  over-plainlj  than  over-fancifully. 
In  traveling.  For  a  hat,  anything  that  is 
plain,  from  which  dust  can  be  brushed 
and  which  a  shower  would  not  spoil. 

Ladles  who  expect  to  spend  the  Sabbath 
in  Boston  or  Portland,  where  they  wouk' 
wish  to,  attend  church,  might  wish  to 
take  a  trunk,  and  if  it  is  checked  at  De- 
troit to  Boston  or  Portland  there  will  be 
none  of  the  annoyance  of  Custom  House 
officials.  Of  course,  one  would  naturally 
need  little  articles,handkerchiefs,brushe3, 
combs,  et''..,  where  they  could  be  easily 
reached,  and  a  small  hand  bag  would  be 
needed  for  this  purpose.

This  excursion  will  not  be  in  Montreal 
on  the  r2th  of  July,  the  anmial  oanide 
day  of  the  Society  of  Orangemen.  If  any 
of  the  party  wish  to  be  present  at  this, 
they  will  have  to  defer  their  trip  to  the  , 
Mountains  for  !•,  few  days  We  spend  a

OFJENSIVE  AND  DEFENSIVE. 

The  resolute  intenti'^n  of  every  excur- 
sionist '.vill  doubtless  i-e,  on  starting,  to 
pre?erve  a  strict  conservntism,  and  to 
make  no  acquaintances  among  the  other 
members  of  the  jarty.  The  prediction  is 
a  safe  one  that  this  idea  will  be  somewhat 
modified  before  the  return.  The  first  day 
this  rigid  decoiim  nuiy  be  maintained, 
and  probably  will  be.  The  second  day  it 
will  suffer  invasion  at  divers  and  sundry 
inevitable  places.  The  third  day,  at  the 
Mountains,  there  will  begin  to  be  felt 
that  community  of  interest  that  always 
exists  on  a  long  voyage.  This  contagion 
will  be  spread  during  the  succeeding 
days,  by  a  natural  and  irresistible  law  of 
its  own,  until  there  will  finally  be  an  un- 
expressed understanding  that  will  be 
akin  to  an  offensive  and  defensive  alli- 
ance. 

PORTMANTEAU   AND  SHAWL  8TKAP. 

One  of  the  handiest  and  most  conveni- 
ent articles  a  tourist  can  secure  is  the 
comljioation  illustrated  above.  Last  year 
the  manager  of  the  excursion  had  no 
other  baggage,  and  was  well  Jicconmodat- 
ea,  as  the  portmanteau  was  large  enough 
for  c;)llafs,  cuffs,  brush   comb,  razor  and 


towels,  while  in  the  shawl  straps  were 
rolled  a  sprins  overcoat,  blanker  and 
duster;  the  whole  forming;  a  liglit,  com. 
pact  md  convenient  paicol.    It  is  as  ele- 


gant as  a  $10  Gatchel,  moro  convenient 
and  equally  adapted  for  ladies  or  gentle- 
man. It  will  be  sent  to  any  address  on

Brearley,  flr>  Shelby  street,  Detroit.  Mich., 
and  the  goods  will  be  sent  by  first  ex-

TIME  VARIATIONS. 

Owing  to  difference  in  longitude  the 
true  time  will  be  found  to  be  faster  or 
slower  than  Detroit  time,  in  proportion  to 
the  distance  east  or  west  of  this  city.

A  SUMMER'S  Vacation, 


H.  BREARLEY, 

DETROIT,  MICH. 


THE  OLDEST  CITY  IN  THE  WEST. 


(  Leaves  Detroit  Jalr  ?• 
\  Time  14  or  4S  OHy*. 
;  Round  Trip,  W3  5.00. 


DETROIT,  the  oldest  city  in  the  West, 
as  well  as  the  commercial  metropo- 
lis and  largest  city  of  Michigan,  con- 
taining 130,000  inhabitants,  is  beautifully 
situated  on  the  Detroit  river,18  miles  from 
Lake  Erie  and  7  miles  from  Lake  St. 
Clair.  Its  eventful  history  and  rapid  devel- 
opment since  the  war  make  It  a  place  well 
worthy  the  tourist's  study  and  inspection. 

HISTORICAL. 

Upon  Its  discovery  by  white  men.  the 
site  now  occupied  by  Detroit  was  the  lo- 


cation of  several   In- 
dian villages.     It  was 
lirst   visited   by   the 
French,  in  lOIo,  and  re- 
mained in   possession 
of  that  nationality  un- 
til 1762     The   first  le- 
gitimate      settlement 
was  made  in  1701,when 
Antoine   de  la  Motte 
Cadillac   erected  Fort 
I'ontchartraln,  the  nu- 
cleus  of  the    present 
city,  naming  the  place 
D'Etrolt  (the  strait)— 
hence  Detroit— and  be- 
ep me  first  governor  of 
the  territory.  This  fort 
was  simply  a  square 
stockade   with   block- 
house   corners,    the 
northwest    comer    of 
which  must  have  been 
very  near  the  site  of 
the  front  of  the  pres- 
ent     Michigan      Ex- 
change hotel,  corner  of 
.Tefforson   avenue  and 
Shelby  street.    It  orig- 
inally    occupied    but 
about  the  space  of  one 
of    the    present    city 
squares,  but  was  doub- 
led in  size  about  1750, 
when   the    governor's 
house  occupied  the  site 
on  which  now  stands 
the     First    National 
Bank,  corner  of  JefCer- 
son  avenue  and  Qris- 
wold  street.      In  1763 
the  British  took  pos- 
session, and  soon  oad 
trouble  with  the  Indians,  who  had  been  on 
quite  friendly  terms  with  the  French.   Of 
the  several  tribes  In  the  vicinity— Potta- 
wottamies,  Wyandots  and  Ottawas— Pon- 
tlac,  an  Ottawa,  was  chief.    HIr  home 
was  on  Peach  Island,  near  the  Canada 
shore  just  above  Belle  Isle.    Concluding 
that  the  British  were  inimical  to  his  race, 
he  decided  to  attack  Detroit,  and  In  July, 
1703,  was  ready  for  business,  and  located 
with  his  warriors   at   Parent  Creek,  or 
Bloody  Run.    The  garrison  miule  a  sortie.

howevt^r,  and  advanced  to  attack  ttie  In- 
dians. Tlie  latter  lay  in  ambush,  and 
when  the  Bloody  Run  bridge  was  reached 
opened  a  deadly  fire  that  laid  many  of  the 
attacking  party  low  in  death  and  drove 
the  remainder  back  to  the  fort;  entailing 
a  loss  to  the  British  of  25  killed  and  38 
wounded.  The  only  living  witness  of  this 
bloody  scene  is  the  "  Pontiac  Tree.''  which 
may  be  seen  to-day,  old  and  scarred,  on 
the  Michigan  Stove  Company's  grounds, 
In  the  Bloody  Run  hollow,  a  little  to  the

The  American  flag  first  waved  ever  De-

v.  ere  evacuated  by  the  British  under  the 
Jay  treaty,  and  taken  possession  of  by 
Capt. Potter  of  Gen.Wayne's command.  It 
remained  in  American  hands  until  Hull's 
surrender  to  Gen.  Brock,  Aug.  16, 1812 ; 
but  the  British  only   held   it  about   13 


months,  for  on  Sept.  28,  1818,  the  Ameri- 
cans under  Gen.  McArthur  again  floated 
their  flag  from  the  fort  staff,  since  which 
time  it  has  continued  American,  Michigan

Detroit  as  the  capital,  which  it  remained 
until  the  removal  of  the  capital  to  Lan- 
sing, in  1847.  The  rear  part  of  the  pres- 
ent High  School  building  served  as  the 
old  State  House. 

OLD  PEAR  THEE8. 

The  French  soldiers  who  came  over 
witii  Cadillac  about  the  year  1700,  brought 
pear  seeds  from  Normandy,  and  planted 
them  along  the  river  front  where  they 
afterwards  grew  to  be 
shade  trees  for  the  old 
French  homesteads.  All 
but  a  few  of  tliose  vener- 
able landmarlcs  have  been 
removed  to  make  way  for 
building  improvements. 

THE  DETROIT  OF  TO-DAT 

Will  be  a  revelation  to 
the  tourist  who  has  not 
visited  the  city  for  a  dec- 
ade or  two.  Its  growth, 
especially  during  the  past 
20  years,  has  been  wonder- 
ful.  In  that  time  it  has 
about  tripled  its  popula- 
tion by  a  natural,  steady 
growth,  not  stimulated 
by  any  excitement,  but 
accruing  to  the  city  be- 
cause of  its  solid  wortli. 
The  river  at  this  point  is 
about  five-eighths  of  a 
mile  wide,  and  oh  the  op- 
posite side  is  the  Canadi- 
an city  of  Windsor,  two 
miles  oelow  which  is  the 
old  town  of  Sandwich, 
while  two  miles  above  is 
Walker ville,  which  takes 
its  name  from  a  leading 
distiller  who  has  his 
grain-destroying  factory 
located  there.  The  harbor 
is  really  the  mosc  per'^ict 
on  the  whole  chain  of 
lakss. 

As  a  commercial  center 
Detroit  ranks  high,  with 
her  nearly  a  dozen  lines 
of  railroads  centering 
here,  and  with  others  of 
large  importance  about  to  be  brought 
to  her  to  connect  her  with  the  great 
Southwest.  Tliere  are  but  two  great  de- 
pots, however— at  the  foot  of  Third  street 
and  at  the  foot  of  Brush  street— -although 
of  late,  80  far  has  the  city  spread,  passen- 
gei  depots  1%  miles  out  Grand  River  ave-

Detroit  is  also  emphatically  a  city  of  i  piiM  Martius  and  Michigan  Grand  avenue; 
homes.    Possibly  no  other  city— not  even  t  the  old  Board  of  Trade,  on   Woodbrldge 
l'hila<lelphia— possesses  as  great  a  num- 
ber of  people,  in  proportion  to  its  popula- 
tion, who  own  their  own  homes,  and  sic ; 


under  their  own  vine  and  Jig  tree,  as  De- 
troit. And  such  homes 
— n  o  cramped  u  p, 
crowded  blocks,  but 
substantial,  indepen- 
dent buildings,  with 
plenty  of  light  and  air, 
and  little  bits  of  green 
about  them  to  bright- 
en and  cheer  the  in- 
mates. 

The  principal  build- 
ings are :  The  City  Hall, 
of    which   every   De- 
troiter     is    especially 
proud  ;    a     massive 
building     of     Italian 
style,    covering     a 
ground  area  of  200x90 
feet,   and    180  feet  in 
height  to  the  top  of  the 
central  tower;  built  at 
a  cost  of  f  600,000,  and 
without  jobbery,  else 
it   would    have    cost 
much     more.      Two 
handsome  opera  hous- 
es—the Detroit,  situ- 
ated on   the  Campus 
Martius,   one    of   the 
largest  and    best   ap- 
pointed theaters  west 
of   New    York;    and 
Whitney's,  on  the  cor- 
ner of  Fort  and  Shelby  streets, 
bijou  of  a  theater,  and  yet  not  so  °mall 
after  all— both  arranged  with  every  re- 
gard for  the  safety  and  comfort  of  the 
public.    The  post-office,  corner  of  Gris- 
wold  and  Larned  streets,  in  which  is  also 
located    the    custom-house.      Harmonie 
Hall,  a  handsome  building  erected  by  the 
Harmonie  society  from  the  proceeds  of  a 
lottery,  situated  on  the  comer  of  Lafay- 
ette and  Beaubien  streets,  and  devoted  to 
music  and  the  drama,  terpsichoreau  gath- 
erings, etc.     Young  Men's  Hall,  used  for 
public  gatherings,  situated  in  the  Biddle 
House  block.    There  me  also  several  oth- 
er sizable  halls.    The  High  School  build- 
ing, corner  of  Griswold  and  State  streets, 
a  very  handsome  structure  erected  at  a 
cost  of  IS60,000.    The  Public  Library  build- 
ing, on  Center  Park,  Gratiot  avenue,  just 
off  Woodward  avenue,  completed  at  a  cost 
of  $126,000,  and  with   a  well-stocked  li- 
brary of  some  45,000  volumes,  yearl>  in- 
creasing. 

..  Of  handsome  business  blocks  may  be 
mentioned  the  new  Chandler  block  and 
Chamber  of  Commerce  building,  on  Jeffer- 
.son  Avenue ;  the  Moffat  block,  corner  of 


street;  the  Telegraph  block,  corner  of 
(iriswold  and  Congress  streets,  and  the 
Hank  block,  directly  opposite ;  tlie  Wayne 
County  Savings  bank  on  Congress  street; 


THE  RUSSELL  HODSB,  (FROM  OITY  HALL  gTBPS.) 

a  perfect  the  Weber  block,  on  "Woodward  avenue, 
above  the  Campus;  and  scores  of  others 
that  might  be  named. 

There  are  also  plenty  of  good  hotel  ac- 
commodations. The  leading  house  Is  the 
Russell,  opposite  the  City  Hall.  Then 
there  are  the  Michigan  Exchange,  corner 
of  Jefferson  avenue  and  Shelby  streets ; 
the  Brunswick,  corner  of  State  and  Gris- 
wold streets ;  and  the  Biddle  (closed  at 
present,  because  of  an  eccentric  owner), 
on  Jefferson  avenue ;  also,  good  houses  in 
the  Cass  hotel,  opposite  the  Third  street 
depot ;  the  Antisdel  House,  on  Michigan 
avenue;  the  Howard  House,  corner  of 
Congress  and  Griswold  streets ;  the  Fin- 
ney House,  and  others. 

bti'eet  cara  Intersect  the  city  In  all 
directions.  Of  two  lines  leading  from  the 
depot  of  the  Michigan  Central  Railroad, 
at  the  foot  of  Third  street,  one— the  City 
Railway  line— gives  change-off  tickets  to 
passengers  to  take  Gratiot,  Michigan  or 
Woodward  avenue  cars.  And  by  this 
means  the  center  of  the  city  and  the  prin- 
cipal public  buildings  can  be  reached  by 
it,  as  well  as  by  the  Cass  avenue  and  Third 
street  line.     Then  we  have  the  Grand

of  .Jefferson  avenue  going  east.  Also  a 
Home  of  the  Friendless,  on  Warren 
avenue;  deaf  and  dumb  asylum,  insane 
KsyUim,  etc. 

£)etroit  is  not  well  off  in  the  matter  of 
parks,  however.  There  are  a  number  of 
little  grass  plots  scattered  about  the  city 
and  dignified  by  the  title  of  park,  but 
wholly  unworthy  the  name.  Linden  park 
(80  acres)  just  outside  the  city  limits  on 
tlie  east,  Is  wholly  unimproved  as  yet; 
but  a  new  park  of  18  acres,  to  be  known 
as  the  llecreation  park,  is  completed  and

right  of  Woodward  avenue,  back  of  Har-  \

ward  avenue  cars 

Other  public  works  of  Detroit,  in  which 
she  takes  great  pride  are  her  new  Water 
Works,  located  beyond  the  city  limits,  in 


Hamtramck,  out  Jefferson  avenue,  on  the 
river  bunk,  erected  at  a  cost  of  01,(XX),(XH), 
and  well  worth  a  visit  from  any  tourist, 
just  to  see  the  great  engine  work.  Also, 
the  monument  erected  to  tlio  memory  of 
the  Micliigah  soldiers  and  sailors  wlio  fell 
in  the  war  for  the  union,  1S(H-I('>,  designed 
by  Randolph  Uogers,  and  built  of  bronze 
and  granite  at  a  cost  of  StlO.uoo  It  stands 
.•)5  feet  high,  surmounted  by  a  colossal 
l)ronze  allegorical  statue  of  Mictiigan, 
with  the  various  branches  of  the  service 
illustrated  by  life-size  bronze  tlgures  on 
four  corners.  Also  the  House  of  Correc- 
tion, on  Russell  street,  erected  at  a  cost  of 
$.S(K),0O(),  and  which  has  attained  a  nation- 
al reputation  as  an  ably  managed  insti 
tution,  prisoners  being  sent  to  It  from 
many  states  and  territories.  It  has  reach- 
ed tlie  point  of  self-support,  and  Is  well 
worth  a  visit. 

THE  OEMETKKIBS. 

In  the  matter  of  "silent  cities'*  Detroit 
Is  well  supplied.  Three  large  cemeteries 
are  here,  viz:  Elm  wood,  Mt.  Elliott, 
(Catholic)  and  Woodnaere.  The  first  two 
join  each  other  on  the  eastern  limits  of 
the  city,  while  the  last  Is  located  on  the 
river  six  miles  below  the  city,  and  is 
accessible  by  carrlF.ge  road  or  railroad. 
Wooilmere,  the  latest,  Is  a  beautiful  spot, 
and  will  In  time  be 
the  leading  burial 
place.  The  most  ac- 
cessible Is  Elm  wood, 
beautifully  situated 
naturally  and  so  em- 
bellishea  artificially 
as  to  be  well  worth 
a  tourist's  visit.  The 
Fort  etreet  cars  goi  ng 
eastward  will  take 
you  directly  to  the 
entrance  gate.  Here 
lie  the  remains  of 
Detroit's  most  noted 
citizens— Gen.  Lewis 
Cass  and  others. 
Here  also  is  the  fire- 
men's lot  and  monu- 
ment,and  many  other 
monuments  and 
tombstones  whose  in- 
scriptions will  inter- 
est those  who  care  to 
wander  in  the  city  of 
the  dead.  The  his- 
torical Bloody  Run 
passes  through  the 
cemetery,  which  is 
very  handsomely  laid 
out,  and  is  well  kept.

A  relic  of  interest  to  look  "t,  as  remind-

NEWSPAPBRfi,  BTO. 

Detroit  is  well  provided  with  purveyors 
of  current  history.  Besides  a  score  or 
two  weekly,  monthly,  and  other  publi- 
cations, in  English  and  German,  it  has 
two  German  dallies  and  three  leading 
English  dailies.  The  first  in  ortler  of  life 
and  circulation  le  The  Evknino  News, 
with  a  circulation  of  22,(KM)  copies  dally, 
issued  from  one  of  the  neatest  newspaper 
printing  olllces  in  the  country,  situated  on 
Shelby  street,  just  nortli  of  Larned.  Next 
comes  the  Free  Press,  Democratic,  Issued 
evory  morning,  with  a  circulation  of  about 
6,000;  and  the  Post  and  Tribune,  Henubli- 
oan,  issued  each  morning,  circulation 
about  4,000.  Job  printing  offices  abound 
in  all  parts  of  the  business  center  of  the 
city,  and  printers'  ink  may  be  said  to  be 
generally  appreciated  by  Detrolters. 

DIRBOTIONS  TO  8IOHT-SEEB8. 

The  best  comprehensive  view  of  De- 
troit can  be  obtained  by  ascending  to  the 
CityHall  tower  and  using  a  good  field-glass. 
The  broad  avenues,  lined  with  shade- 
trees  ;  the  splendid  harbor,  and  the  islands 
in  tlie  river;  Fort  Wayne,  on  the  river  be- 
low the  city;  and  points  of  interest  for 
'  several  miles  about,  can  be  taken  in  at  a 

fiance  in  this  manner.  To  those  who 
ave  more  time,  however,  and  wh-)  care 
to  "take  In"  more  of  the  beauties  of  De- 
troit, a  drive  under  care  of  an  Intelligent 
and  obliging  hackman  (and  there  are  such 
in  Detroit,  if  you  keep  your  eyes  open  for 
them )  will  be  best.  You  can  tell  him  to 
lay  out  the  pleasantest  route  to  such 
points  of  interest  enumerated  here  as 
you  care  to  visit,  and  make  your  bargain 
with  him  before  starting.  A  party  of 
four  may  enjoy  this  luxury  for  81.00  an 
hour.    Or  you  can  go  to  the  District  Tele- 


graph oflloe,  on  Congress  street,  comer  of 
Orlswold,  and  order  a  coupe  after  having 
a  route  laid  out,  and  Indulge  in  this  for 
60  cents  an  hour.  A  coupe  carries  two 
perHons.  Or  yet  again,  you  can  secure  the 
aid  of  the  obliging  hotel  clerk  to  lay  you 
out  a  route,  and  order  a  carriage  or  coupe 
from  the  hotel.  In  fact  there  Is  no  end  of 
ways  by  which  the  tourlsthavlnga  day  or 
iwo  lu  Detroit,  can  profitably  (ill  In  his 
time  at  sight-seeing  at  reasonable  rates. 

In  the  summer  season  cheHp  excursions 
bv  water  abound .  You  can  go  to  St.  Clair 
Flats  to  fish  for  50  cents  the  round  trip; 
to  Put-In-Bay  Island  (the  scene  of  Perry's 
rfjotlng  place  after  his  victory  on  Lake 
Erie  In  1818),  for  $1  the  round  trip;  to 
the  Jandwlch  mineral  springs,  to  Wyan- 
dotte white  sulphur  springs,  to  Mt. 
Clemens  mineral  springs,  and  various 
other  points— all  for  merely  nominal  sums. 
The  Detroit  River  Is  about  85  miles  long, 
and  from  five-eighths  to  one  mile  wide, 
abounding  in  places  for  picknicking  and 
pleiisurlng.  A  fine  summer  resort  on 
Grosse  Isle  (the  Alexander  House)  is  in 
daily  communication  by  boat  during  the 
summer,  at  cheap  fare,  and  the  eveulngs 
are  lively  with  moonlight  excursions. 

LEA  VINO  DETROIT. 

The  Evening  News  excursion  will 
leave  Detrolt,.July  7tli,  at  11 :10  p.m.  by  the 
Canada  Southern  Railroad  from  the  depot 
at  tlie  foot  of  Third  street.  Those  wno 
prefer  to  go  alone  can  use  the  excursion 
tickets  and  follow  on  any  regular  train 
the  next  day. 

Sleeping  car  accommodations  from  De- 
troit to  Niagara  are  $2.00  per  berth  or 
$4.00  per  section.  Two  can  occupy  a  berth,

THE  FIRST  NIGHT. 

The  route  the  first  night  is  by  Canada 
Southern  Railroad,  south  to  the  crossing 
(by  iron  ferry )  at  Grosse  Isle,  thence  east 
via  Fort  Erie,  opposite  Buffalo,  to  Clifton, 
near  Niagara  Falls.  The  approach  to  the 
Falls  by  the  Canada  Southern, Railroad  is 
particularly  fine,  as  may  be  seen  by  the 
i  accompanying  map.  The  road  runs  for 
some  distance  on  the  bank  of  the  river, 
directly  overlooking  the  Falls.

HKKINU  WITIIOIT  .si'KKKIlINi'. 

One  of  the  greatest  treats  In  store  for 
patrons  of  this  excursion  is  the  provision 
made  f(n'  .(  visit  to  >fiag  tra  Falls  at  the 
most  enjoyable  season  of  the 
year  under  the  guidance  of 
those  who  have  been  there 
so  often  as  to  bo  perfectly 
familiar  with  the  best  means 
of  getting  around  and  see- 
ing the  most  in  the  least 
time  with  the  greatest  possi- 
ble comfort 

A  description  of  Niagara 
Falls  that  did  Justice  to  the 
subject,  or  was  satisfactory 
to  the  writer,  probably  has 
never  been  written;  and 
surely  tlie  limit  of  these 
pages  cannot  be  expected 
to  contain  one.  Ttie  writer 
may  write,  the  painter  may 
paint,  the  orator  may  weave 
the  magic  spell  of  his  elo- 
quence, nut  it  is  all  in  vain 
when  applied  to  Niagara. 
The  very  effort  belittles  the 
attempt  It  cannot  be  done. 
Niagara  must  be  seen,  and 
once  seen  it  can  never  be  for- 
gotten. 

For  the  edification  of  those 
wiio  think  cf  making  the 
trip  with  us  this  year  we 
have  caused  to  be  prepared 
a  few  excf,i!ent  cuts,  show- 
ing the  "Horse  Shoe  Falls," 
the  "  American  Fallp  "  aid  a 
general  view  of  the  Falls 
from  that  inimitable  coign  of

road—the spot  where  the 
excursionists  will  get  their 
first  view  of  this  stupend-

tor's might.

CROSSING   LAKE   ONTARIO. 


the  famous  and  wonderful  Burning 
Spriiiffs.  From  tliia  weird  locality,  with 
its  suggestive  blue  lights  fresh  from  the 
regions  of  the  nether  world,  we  will  re- 
turn, cross  the  river  again  at  the  upper  or 
new  suspension  bridge  for  dinner  at  the 
Intv.rnational,  and  thon,  well  paid  for  our 
visit  to  Nia  {ilia,  and  with  the  inner  man 
well  refreshed,  we  will  return  to  the  de- 
pot and  wing  our  way  toward  the  rising 
sun  and  the  sea  shore  again. 

Niagara  is  by  no  means  the  highest, 
waterfall  in  the  world,  but  it  is  beyond 
all  perad venture  the  grandest  and  most 
sublime,  .is  no  other  fall  carries  over  it 
such  an  immense  volume  of  water.  Care- 
ful hydroi^rti  hie  measurements  jnade  by 
the  most  expert  engineers  in  the  employ 
of  the  govfument  show  chat  about  2,000,- 
000  tons  of  water  per  minute  go  over  the 
"Americ«n  "  and  "  Horse  Shoo  Falls,"  and 
ir'  the  reader  of  tnis  little  book  desires  to 
sentimentalize  over  what  he  imagines 
Niagara  Falls  to  be  like,  the  above  figures 
will  serve  as  a  warp  to  be  filled  in  by  the 
magic  weaving  of  his  imagination.

STEAMEU    OHICOKA. 

The  "bridge"  upon  which  the  excursion 
will  cross  Lake  Ontario,  has  been  espe- 
cially prepared  for  this  passenger  route. 
She  is  230  feet  long  and  built  of  iron  and 
steel  in  the  strongest  and  most  substan- 
tial manner  for  ocean  service.  And,  as 
the  hull  is  divided  by  iron  bi^lkheads  into 
Ave  water-tight  compartments— a  precav- 
tion  unusual  in  any  lake  steamers- 
strength  and  safety,  the  first  requisites  of 
a  passenger  ste-mer,  are  completelv  se- 
cured. 

The  steamer  was  built  for,  and  did  ser- 
vice as  a  blockade  runner,  and  exhibits  a 
little  relic  in  the  shape  of  the  b'jll,  now 
hanging  in  front  of  the  wheel  house.upon 
which  fs  to  be  read  the  former  name  ft 
the  Chicora,  "Let  Mer  H."

LEAVING  NIAGARA  FALLS. 

Resuming  seats  in  the  Canada  Southern 
Kailroai^l  cars,  a  short  run  of  about  eight- 
een miles,  and  the  sliore  of  Lake  On- 
tario, at  the  little  old  town  of  Niagara,  is 
reached.  Midway  in  this  short  ride  a  tine 
motuunent,  li)4  feet  in  liei;j;ht,  will  be  no- 
ticed to  the  riglit  (east),  marking  tiie  spot 
where  General  Isaac  Brock  was  killed, 
Oct.    13th,    1812,  dining   tiie    l»attle    of 

gueenstowii.  It  will  be  remembered  tliat 
eneral  Hull  surrendered  Detroit  to  Gen- 
eral Brock  on  tlie  16tli  of  Augusi,  of  tiie 
same  year.  The  monument  can  be  as- 
cended by  a  spiral  staircase  inside. 

NIAGAUA 

Is  one  of  the  oldest  towns  in  Ontario  and 
was  formerly  tlie  capital  of  the  Province. 
It  is  situated  at  the  mouth  of  Niagara 
River  (the  Canada  Southern  cars  will  be 
exchanged  at  this  point  for  the  steamer 
Chicora).'  Old  Fort  Niagara  on  the  ''A-

LAKE    ONTARIO 

Is  the  smallest  of  the  chain  of  the  "Great 
Lakes,"  bein«  180  miles  long  by  35  miles 
wide,  but  is  far  from  uninteresting,  at 
least  to  the  IndiaUvS,  who  gave  it  a  name 
which  means  beautiful.  It  is  not  so  sub- 
ject to  storms  or  change  of  temperature 
as  the  shallower  lakes,  on  account  of  its 
gre.it  depth,  the  average  being  abo.;t  500 
leet.  The  excursion  will  cross  the  lake 
from  Niagara  to  Toronto  in  the  afternoon 
of  July  8th. 

TORONTO. 

The  view  of  this  city  from  the  water  is 
very  fine  indeed,  and  its  buildings  and 
wharves  show  to  the  best  advantage.  The 
landing  will  be  at  the  depot  of  the  Grand

Simcoe,  in  1704,  and  wat^  the  capital  of 
Upper  Canada  till  1841.  Everything  in  it 
of  importauce,  however,  besides  the  name, 
which  at  that  time  war.  "York,"  was  burn- 
ed by  United  States  troops  in  1813.  Its 
present  population  is  about  70,000,  and  it 
ranks  second  in  Canada  in  commercial 
importance.  The  finest  liotel  in  this  city 
is  the  Queen's,  which  Is  drst-class  in  all 
its  appointments. 

THE  GRAND  TKUNK  R.  R. 

Is  tirst  reached  by  the  excursion  at  Toron- 
to. This  road  is  in  superb  condition, 
having  1,053  miles  of  track  laid  with  stci  1 
rails,  and  337  with  iron  rails,  upon  which 
an  army  of  workmen  are  constantly  em- 
ployed, so  that  it  can  never  become  seri- 
-ously  out  of  ordei\ 

TI16  immense  cost  of  building  and  niain- 
taining  the  road  may  be  inferred  from 
the  fact  that  Victoria  Bridge  at  Montreal, 
representing  but  two  of  its  fourteen  hun- 
dred miles,  cost  over  *7,OOO,O0O  in  gold,  to 
build,  and  costs  a  small  fortune  yearly  to 
keep  in  repair. 

The  stock  of  the  road  is  owned  and  con- 
trolled i-  England,  but  the  general  Cana- 
dian office  is  at  Montreal. 

The  locomotives  and  passenger  coaches 
are  not  exce"^  by  any  road  in  America, 
and,  as  all  ti..ins  are  run  by  telegraph,  ac- 
cidents seldom  occur. 

For  summer  pleasure  travel  this  road  is 
unexcelled,  foi  it  should  be  remembered 
that  much  of  this  route  is  as  far  north  ar 
Lake  Superior,  and  equally  as  cool  for 
summer  travel.  This  road  "has  four  ter- 
minations, viz:  Quebec,  Portland,  Buf- 
fiiloand  Detroit. 


HAKINO  A  NIGHT  OF  IT. 

The  seven  hours'  night  ride  of  161  miles 
from  Toronto  to  Kingston  will  be  spent 
in  the  traveler's  "home"— a  Pullman 
sleeper— in  faithful  imitation  of  the  hiS' 
torical  seven.  The  scenery  that  is  lost 
du.'ing  the  night  will  be  foutid  again, 
whv>n,  on  the  return  trip,  this  part  of  the 
rout.^  will  be  passed  in  the  daytime. 

KINGSTON 

Is  reached  at  about  3  a.  m.,  but  those  oc- 
cupying sleeping  cars,  will  not  be  dis- 
turbed, as  the  cars  will  be  backed  down  a 
side  track  and  left  standing  near  the 
dock  until  the  arrival  of  tne  steamer 
from  Toronto,  which  will  stop  long 
enough  to  take  the  excursion  aboard,  be- 
fore resuming  her  course  down  the  St. 
Lawrence  River.  Kingston  is  392  miles 
from  Detroit  and  172  Similes  from  Mon- 
treal which,  latter  i>lace,  could  be  reach- 
ed, by  those  preferring  to  continue  on  the 
Grand  Trunk  Railroad,  by  8  o'clock  a.  m. 
The  tickets  being  good,  for  the  railroad  o*- 
steamer,  at  the  holder's  option. 

Tne  city  of  Kingston,  which  has  a  pop- 
ul?*ion  of  15,000,  wfs  founded  in  1672,  by 
Governor  DeCourcelles,  receiving  the 
rame  of  Fort  Cataraqui.  Later,  a  m  .8- 
sive  stone  fort  was  buUt  by  Count  De- 
Frontenac,  and  received  his  name.  In 
1762  the  place  was  taken  by  the  British, 
who  Ka\  e  it  its  present  name.  As  a  placf

(lefei...e  against  any  aggressive  movement 
■.vliicli  might  be  directed  against  llie  city. 
These  lurtilications  are  seen  to  excel- 
lent iidvaiitiige  from  the  steamer  soon  af- 
ter it  leaves  the  dock.  The  steamer 
which  will  be  taken  belongs  to  the 

lUCHKLIEU   &   ONTAKIO  NAVIGATION  CO., 

Who  own  eight  ,,a8senger  steamers  upon 
the  St  Lawrence  River.  The  company 
have  their  main  oilice  at  228  St.  Paul  St., 
Montreal.  J.  B  Lamere  is  general  man- 
ager, and  Alex.  Milloy,  trafflc  manager. 
Six  steamers,  (i-he  Corslcanj  Spartan,  Cor- 
inthian, I'iissport,  Algerian  and  Magnet) 
are  engu^jed  on  the  route  between  Toron- 
to and  Montreal.  The  otb*r  two  steam- 
ers of  til  is  company  altdnate  between 
Montreal  and  Quebec,  being  named  after 
these  two  cities. 

Breakfast  and  dinner  will  be  served  on 
board  the  steamer,  tickets  for  which  can 
be  secured  at  the  otllce  of  the  purser  on 
the  lower  deck  for  50  cents  eacli. 

THE  THOUSAND  I8L>ND8 

Is  the  most  numerous  collection  of  river 
islands  in  the  world.  It  commencep  .1  lit- 
tle above  Kingston,  and  stietches  down 
the  river  between  40  and  50  miles,  for 
which  distance  the  St.  Lawrence  Is  be- 
tween 6  and  12  miles  wida.  Notwith- 
standing their  nan  I',  the  number  of  these 
islands  far  exceeds  a  thousand;  there  be- 
ing 

AT  LKAST  1,600. 

They  lie  partly  in  Ctinada,  and  partly 
withiji  the  bounds  of  the  State  of  New 
York:  the  boundary  line  between  the 
United  States  and  Canada  dividing  them 
into  about  equal  parts.  Nowhere  in  the 
world  is  a  more  beautiful  scene  presented 
to  the  eya  of  the  traveler  than  here.  As 
the  steamboat  is  piloted  through  the  in- 
tricate cliannels,  dodging  here  and  there 
among  the  islands,  shovviug  each  moment 
new  and  ever-varying  beauties,  the  scene 
is 

BEAUTIFUL  BEYOND  DESCRirTION. 

Islands  of  all  sizes  and  shapes  f.re  scatter 
ed  in  profusion  throughout  the  waters; 
some  covered  with  vegetation,  others 
bare  and  ragged  rocks;  some  many  acres 
in  extent,  others  measuring  but  a  few 
feet ;  some  showing  a  bare,  oald  head,  a 
little  above  the  level  of  the  water,  while, 
a  short  distance  oif,  a  large  island  or 
rock,  crowned  with  a  considerable  growth 
of  pine  or  cedar  will  rise  abruptly  out  of 
the  water,  to  the  height,  probably,  of  100 
feet  or  more.  These  islands,  too,  have 
lieen  the  scene  of 

MOST  EXCITING  ROMANCE. 

From  their  great  number  and  the  laby- 
rinth-like channels  among  them,  they  af- 
forded an  admirable  retreat  for  the  insur- 


gents in  the  last  Canadian  insurrection' 
and  for  the  American  sympathizers  with 
them,  who,  under  the  name  oi:  "  patriots," 
sought  to  embarrass  the  British  Govern- 
ment. 

THE  FIRST  TOWN 

On  the  riprht  passed  after  leaving  Kings- 
ton, is  Clayton.  This  village  is  situated 
on  the  American  side,  opposite  the 
"Thousand  Islands,"  and  was  formerly  of 
considerable  importance  as  a  lumber  sta- 
tion. Opposite  Clayton,  on  the  Canadian 
side,  is  Gananoque,  wiiich  is  a  flourishing 
town  of  about  3,000  inhabitants,  and  has 
become  quite  a  favorite  resort  for  tourists 
and  pleasure  seekers.  The  beauty  of  the 
islands  and  river,  as^aeen  from  this  point, 
cannot  be  surpassed. 

ALEXANDRIA  BAT 

Is  the  next  place  to  the  right  after  leav- 
ing Clayton,  and  is  romantic  and  highly 
picturesque.  It  is  a  place  of  resort  for 
sportsmen.  Some  two  or  three  miles  be- 
low the  village  is  a  position  from  whence 
one  hundred  islancs  can  be  seen  at  one 
view.  This  place  also  is  celebrated  for 
ics  tishing  and  shooting.  The  beauty  of 
the  islands  in  this  vicinity  for  several 
miles  up  and  down  the  river  can  hardly 
be  imagined  without  a  personal  visit.  In 
the  summer  of  18'.2  President  Grant  and 
family  and  a  party  of  their  friends  visit- 
ed Alexandria  Bay  as  the  guests  of  Mr. 
Qeo.  M.  Pullman,  who  owns  one  of  the 
pleasantest  islands  of  the  group. 

The  large  hotel  at  the  head  of  the  bay, 
to  the  right  of  the  steamer,  is  the  Thou- 
sand Island  House,  and  just  below  it  is 
the  Grossman  House. 

BROOKVILI.B 

Is  80  named  in  honor  of  General  Brock, 
who  fell  in  battle  atQueenstown  Heights, 
in  1812.  It  might  have  appropriately  l)een 
named  Rocli-vnle,  aa  its  appearance  makes 
plausible  the  statement,  that  here  there 
are  but  two  seasons  of  the  year,  eight 
months  of  ice  and  four  months  of  rock. 
The  excursion  will  pass  during  the  rook 
season. 

OODENSBURQ, 

The  next  place  of  interest  on  the  "Ameri- 
can" side,  was  founded  in  1748  by  Abba 
Francois  Piquet,  but  its  fort,  "La  Presen- 
tation," wj"«  captured  by  the  Mohawk  In- 
dians, in  C*ctober,  1749.  It  has  a  popula- 
tion of  8  000  and  is  a  beautiful  and 
wealthy  city,  with  wide  streets  and  flne 
public  buildings. 

PKESCOTT 

Is  immediately  opposite  Ogdensburg,  and 
connected  with  it  by  a  steam  forry.  It 
contains  «bout  3,000  inhabitants,  ard  pre- 
vious to  the  opening  of  the  Rideau  Cans.:, 
vyas  a  place  of  importance  in  the  carrying

WINDMILL  POINT, 

About  a  mile  below  Prescott,  ut  a  place 
called  "Windmill  Point,"  is  a  lighthou'j", 
recentl;'  constructed  from  the  stone  of  an 
eld  windmill,  which  for  many  ywars  was 
oHh  of  the  princi(>al  landmarks  on  the 
river.  Its  foundations  are  still  to  bo  seen. 
In  the  old  building,  in  IdSl,  the  rebels 
under  Von  Schulz,  a  Polish  exile,  estab- 
lished themselves,  and  were  only  didlodg 
ed  after  a  most  obstinate  resistance,  iti 
which  they  .suffered  severe  loss. 

CHIMNEY   ISLAND. 

Six  miles  below  Windmill 
Point,  is  Chimnt'y  Island,  on 
which  the  rem  lins  of  an  old 
French  fortification  are  to 
be  seen. 

OALLOF  RAPIDS, 

Which  is  about  one  mile  be- 
low Chimney  Island,  is  the 
first  and  smallest  rapid  on 
the  river;  in  the  phraseology 
of  the  "Phat  boy,"  it  is  "a 
little  one  for  a  cent." 

WADDINQTON 

Is  the   next   town    on    the 
American  side;  and  in   the 
river  over  against  it  is  Ogden 
Island.    On  the  Canada  side 
is  Morrisbur^,  formerly  call- 
ed West  WilHamsburg.    It 
is     called     the     Port     of 
Morristown,    and    contains 
about     two     hundred     in- 
habitants.     A    short     dis- 
tance below  Morri-itown,  on 
the  Canada  side,   is    Chrysler's    Farm, 
where,  in  1813  a  battle  was  fought  be- 
tween the   English  and  the  Americans. 
-The  Americans  were  commanded  by  Gen- 
eral Wilkinson,  and  were  at  that  time  de 
Bcending  the  river   to  attack   Montreal. 
The  attempt  was  afterwards  abandoned.

rive at  Dickinson's  Landmg,  the  head  of 
the  Cornwall  uanal.  This  canal,  twelve 
miles  in  length,  was  built  to  avoid  the

LONG   SAULT  RAPIDS, 

The  first  of  a  remarkable  series,  which 
are  almost  continuous  for  a  distance  of 
nine  miles,  have  an  average  velocity  of 
20  miles  an  hour.  An  island  in  the  mid- 
dle divides  the  rushing  waters  into  two 
channels— the  American  channel  and  the 
"Lost"  (Canauian)  channel ;  a  name  priven 
to  it  by  the  French  boatmen,  as  they  sup- 
posed that  if  a  boat  drifted  into  it,  it 
would  certainly  be  lost.  Formerly  tha 
American  or  East  Channel  was  mostly 
run  by  steamers,  but  of  iFte  the  Lost 
Channel   is   mostly  used.    This  channel 

Presents  a  grand  appearance,  the  water 
eing  lashed  into  a  white  foam  for  sever- 
al miles.    The  passage  on  the  southern ' 
channel  is  very  ntxrrow,  and  such  is  the 
velocity  of  the  current,  that  a  raft,  it  is

said,  will  drift  the  nine  miles  in  forty 
minutes.  When  a  steamer  enters  within 
their  influence,  the  steam  is  partly  shut 
off  and  the  engine  slowed  down  to  e^iahle 
the  pilot  to  keep  her  in  the  proper  course, 
wl,ich  is  here  very  narrow.  Great  nerve, 
strenRlh  and  skill  are  necessary  to  pilot 
the  vessel,  and  several  men  are  required 
at  the  wheel,  and  a  tiller  is  attaolted  to 
the  rudder,  itself,  so  that  the  tiller  can  be 
manned  as  well  as  the  wheel.  It  requires 
four  men  at  the  wheel  and  two  at  the  til- 
ler to  ensure  safe  steering;  "  One  of  the 
most  singular  sensations  we  experienc- 
ed," says  a  distinguished  traveler,  "  vw 
that  of  sailing  many  miles  perceptibly 
down  hill."  Tuis  going  down  hill  by  wa- 
ter produc'Ss  a  highly  novel  sensation, 
which  is  enhanced  by  the  tremendous 
roar  of  the  headlong,  boiling  current. 
The  flrst  passage  of  a  steamer  down  these 
rapids  was  in  1840  This  fall  is  compara- 
tively <lo8cribed  by  the  "  phat  boy  "  as  be- 
ing "ttoo  for  a  cent." 

OOKNWAtL, 

At  the  foot  of  Long  Sault,  on  the  Canada 
side,  is  a  neat  little  town  of  about  6,000 
inhabitants  and  contains  some  of  the 
largest  cotton  and  woolen  mills  in  Cana- 
da. .-  . .  ■ 

'      ST.  BBOIB 

Is  an  old  Indian  vilkge,  a  little  below 
Cornwall,  on  the  south  side  of  the  river 
The  tourist  will  observe  from  the  deck  of 
the  steamer  the  old  church,  lifting  its  tin 
roof  above  the  neighboring  houses.  The 
bell  hanging  in  this  church  is  associated 
with  a  deed  of  genuine  Indian  revenge. 
On  its  way  from  France  it  was  captured 
by  an  English  cruiser,  and  taken  into  Sa- 
lem, Miissachusetts,  where  it  was  sold  to 
the  church  at  Deerileld,  in  the  same  State. 
The  Indians,  hearing  of  the  destination 
of  their  bell,  set  out  for  Deerfleld,  attack- 
ed the  town,  killed  forty-seven  of  the  in- 
habitants and  took  one  hundred  and 
twelve  captives,  "  among  whom  was  the 
pastor  and  his  family."  The  bell  was 
then  taken  down  and  conveyed  to  St.  Re- 
gis, where  it  now  hangs. 

The  boundary  line  between  the  United 
States  and  Canada  passes  near  this  vil- 
lage, and  the  course  of  the  St.  Lawrence 
is  nereafter  within  Her  Majesty's  domin- 
ions. 

LAKE  ST.  FRANCIS 

Is  the  name  of  the  expansion  of  the  St. 
Lawrence  which  begins  near  Cornwall 
and  St.  Regis,  and  extends  to  Coteau  du 
Lac,  a  distance  of  forty  miles.  The  sur- 
face of  this  lake  is  intersi^ersed  with  a 
great  number  of  small  islands.  The  vil- 
\&Xe  of  I.iancaster  is  situated  on  the  north- 
em  side  about  midway  of  this  lake. 

COTEAU  DU  LAO 

Is  a  small  village,  situated  at  the  foot  of 
Lake  St.  Francis.    The  name,  as  well  as 


the  style  of  the  buildings,  denotes  its 
French  origin. 

COTEAU  RAPIDS 

Are  Just  below  Coteau  du  Lac,  and  fifty 
mi'es  above  Montreal.  These  rapids  ex- 
tend two  miles. 

CEDARS. 

The  village  presents  the  same  marks  of 
French  origin  as  Coteau  du  Lan.  In  the 
expedition  of  General  Amherst,  a  detach- 
ment of  three  hundred  men,  that  were 
sent  to  attack  Montreal,  were  lost '  1  the 
rapids  near  this  place. 

CEDAR  BAPIDS 

Commence  seven  miles  below  Coteau 
Rapids  and  near  the  village  of  Cedars. 
Tlie  passage  through  these  rapids  is  very 
exciting.  There  is  a  peculiar  motion  of 
the  vessel,  which  in  descending  seems 
like  settling  down  as  she  glides  from  one 
ledge  to  another. 

SPLIT  BOCK  RAPIDS 

Immediately  follow,  in  fact  they  area  con- 
tinuation otf^the  Cedar  Rapids  In  p<^ssing 
the  rapids  of  the  Split  Rock,  a  person  un- 
acquainted with  the  navigation  of  these 
rapids  will  almost  involuntarily  hold  his 
breath  until  this  ledge  of  rocks,  which  is 
distinctly  seen  from  the  deck  of  the  steam- 
er, is  passed.  The  rocks  do  not  rise  above 
the  water,  and  a  passage  '200  feet  wide  has 
been  opened  for  the  passage  of  steamers, 
by  blasting. 

CASCADE    RAPIDS, 

Which  are  entered  soon  aftei  the  passage 
of  the  former,  terminate  at  the  head  of 
Lake  St.  Louis,  where  the  dark  waters  of 
the  Ottawa,  by  one  of  its  mouths,  join  the 
St.  Lawrence-  Tliese  last  three  rapids  in 
eleven  miles  haVv<  a  descent  of  82)^  feet. 

BEAUHARNOIS 

Is  a  small  village  aV  the  foot  of  the  Cas- 
cades, on  the  south  bank  of  the  river. 
Here  vessels,  going  up,  enter  the  Beau- 
harnois  Canal,  and  pass  around  the  rapids 
of  the  Cascades,  Cedars  and  Coteau,  into 
Lake  St.  Francis,  a  distance  of  fourteen 
miles.  Mount  Royal  in  the  rear  of  Mon- 
treal, 30  miles  distant,  can  be  seen  at  this 
point. 

LAKE  ST.  LOUIS. 

Below  the  Cascades,  and  where  the 
Ottawa  river  joins  it  from  the  north,  the 
river  again  widens  into  a  lake  called  St. 
Louis.  In  this  lake  is  Nun's  Island,  which 
is  beautifully  cultivated,  and  belongs  to 
the  Grey  Nunnery,  at  Montreal.  There 
are  many  islands  in  the  vicinity  of  Mon- 
treal belonging  to  the  different  nunneries, 
and  from  which  they  derive  large  rev- 
enues. 

'    -^      LAOHINB 

Is  a  small'village  at  the  foot  of  Lake  St. 
Louis,  nine  miles  from  Montreal.    It  de-  1 
rived  its  name  from  the  first  settlers,  who,

OAUGHNAWAGA,      t'-^ 

Lies  on  the  south 
bank  of  the  river 
near  the  entrance 
of  the  rapids.  It  is 
said  thai  the  In- 
dians who  had  been 
converted  by  the 
Jesuits  were  called 
"Caughnawagas"  or 
"praying  Indians." 
Hence  its  name  No 
one  but  Indians  live 
iuthis  village,which 
consists  principally 
of  one -story  log 
tiouses.  Just  before 
reaching    Caughna- 

waga,  a  canoe  will  be  seen  to  saierge  from 
tlie  point  of  land  on  which  the  village  is 
situated.  The  canoe  contains  Jean  Bap- 
tiste,  the  famous  pilot,  and  his  two 
sons.  The  steamer  stops  her  machinery 
and  allows  the  canoe  to  come  alongside 
and  the  pilot  is  taken  aboard- 

The  Indian  Pilot  it  an  old  grey-headed 
man  of  60  odd  years,  but  still  possesses  a 
splendid  physique,  and  is  "the  lion  of  the 
liour."  lie  wears  a  plaid  shirt  of  bright 
colors  and  takes  his  post  at  the  wheel,  as 
obHvious  to  the  notice  he  attracts  us  the 
most  stolid  of  bis  rAce. 

LACBINK    RAPIDS 

Are  the  last  and  most  dangerous  on  the 
liver,  although  the  shoriest,  and  are  in 
sight  of  the  citjr  of  Montreal.  Before  en- 
tering these  rapids,  the  passengers  are  re- 
questrd  to  sit  or  stand  still  in  their  places

and  to  refrain  from  talking.  The  pilot 
and  two  assistants  man  the  wheel  and 
four  men  assist,  in  the  steamer's  stern,  bv 
handling  the  tiller.  The  steam  is  shut  off, 
and  as  tMe  steamer  enters  the  rapids.noth- 
ing  is  jeard  but  the  sound  of  the  waves 
as  they  dash  themselves  fito  a  foam  over 
the  rocks.  A  ledge  of  rocks  stretches 
across  a  portion  of  the  channel,  and  for 
this  the  steamer  is  directly  steered.  When 
within  a  few  yards  of  certain  destruction 
the  wheel  is  rapidly  turned,  and  the  baat. 
which  an  instant  before  seemed  about  to 
be  dashed  to  pieces,  glides  gracefully  past 
the  reef  amid  the  applause  of  the  scores 
of  posseng^ers  who  crowd  the  forward 
deck.  It  is  all  intensely  exhilarating. 
There  is  no  occasion  for  fear  of  personal 
safety,  as  steamers  have  passed  through 
the  rapids  every  day  of  every  summer  ror 
many  years,  and  no  lives  have  been  lost.

FOB  MOKE  THAN  TWO  HUNDRED  YEARS 

Montreal,  In  all  her  superbness  of  situa- 
tion for  commerce  and  manufactures, 
languished  as  an  outpost  of  Quebec. 
Founded  by  M.  de  Maissonenne  in 
1640  (though  "Hocbelaga"  had  been 
dlHcovered  in  1635),  and  first  named 
Ville  Marie,  Marystown,  or  Marys- 
ville  as  a  modern  translation  would  make 
it.  It  is  one  of  the  oldest  cities  on  the  con- 
tinent) and  by  the  indomitable  push  and 
enterprise  of  its  citizens  has  been  made 
one  of  the  most  important. 

Montreal  tnkes  its  name  from  the  mag- 
nificent mountain  hump  at  whose  base  It 
stands.  The  city  is  situated  upon  an 
island  of  the  same  name,  at  the  juncture 
of  the  dark  Ottawa  with  the  St.  Lawrence, 
and  its  raihoad  communication  with  the 
world  is  obtained  by  the  Victoria  bridge, 
the  bridge  ac  St.  Anne's  (both  belonging 
to  the  Grand  Trunk  railway),  and  the 
bridges  to  the  northwest,  of  the  Montreal 
and  Occidental  railway.  Of  the  Victoria 
bridge  fuller  mention  will  be  made  later. 
The  population  is  estimated  at  180,000,  but 
if  the  suburbs  of  Hochelagi;,  St.  Jean  Bau- 
tiste  village,  St.  Henri  and  St.  Cunegoroe 
be  counted  in.  it  would  probably  reach  to 
nearly  a  quarter  of  a  million.  Of  this 
population  three-fifths  are  French  Cana- 
dian, and  the  remainder  of  English,  Irish 
and  Scotch  descent.  It  is  calculated  that 
there  are  30,000  Irish  Catholics  in  Mon- 
treal. 

The  tourist,  on  reaching  the  city,  will 
be  struck,  first  of  all.  with  the  apparently 
cndle.ss  line  of 


MASSIVE  STONR  DO0K3. 

This  mighty  work,  extending  for  mile 
after  mile  along  the  river  front,  from  the 
culii.ssal  outlet  of  the  Ijuciiint;  Canal  to 
llochelaga,  was  undertaken  when  the 
maritime  importance  of  the  pott  w?»8  in 
its  infancy;  a,nd  it  was  an  Investment 
which  has  repaid  itself  many  thou.sand8 
of  times.  Before  the  revetment  wall  was 
built,  the  city  was  exposed  yearly  to  in- 
undation on  the  break-up  of  the  ice  in 
the  spring;  the  wall  now  forms  a  barrier, 
while  the  dock  system,  as  a  whole,  is  the 
most  magnificent  on  the  continent,  and 
surpaissed  by  but  two  or  three  others  on 
the  globe  Whole  fleets  of  ocean  steam- 
ships, arrive,  discharge  and  load  here 
every  year,  as  do  sailing  vessels  without 
number.  Montreal  obtained  this  great 
commerce  by  the  energy  of  her  citizens, 
wh(  ent  to  work  and  dug  a  channel 
throu  ,h  the  flats  of  Lake  St.  Peter.  Forty 
years  ago  it  was  a  dangerous  thing  for 
ships  of  300  tons  to  move  up  to  Montreal. 
Now  steamsiiips  of  4,000  tons  steam  up 
and  down  the  channel  almost  every  day 
in  the  week. 

The  docks,  the  first  mark  of  Montreal's 
forward  movement,  are  indicative  of  the 
character  of  the  modern  city.  Everything 
is  on  a  large  and  generous  scale.  The  old 
French  streets  near  the  river,  v/hich  till 
18;^2  sufficed  for  ull  the  purposes  of  trade 
and  residence,  have  been  abandoned  to 
trade ;  some  as  they  stood  a  century  ago, 
but  others  after  having  been  pulled  down 
and  two  or  three  run  into  one.  Com- 
merce has  laid  its  hand  upon  territory 
once  sacred  to  the  church,  convents  and 
such  like,  and  paid  terrific  tribute  to  the 
religious  communities  owning  the  land. 
For  the  site  of  Montreal,  and  in  fact  all 
the  land  on  the  island,  is  the  property  of 
the  Seminary  of  St.  Sulpice.  Tlie  land 
was  granted  the  seminary  by  the  King  of 
France,  and  not  a  foot  has  the  seminary 
let  go  except  upon  the  church's  own  terms 
—never  unfavorable  to  the  church.  Out- 
side of  this  the  church  owns,  it  is  esti- 
mated, $12,000,000  worth  of  property  with- 
in the  corporate  limits  of  Montreal. 

Ascending  from  the  steamboat  landing 
and  going  a  short  distance  up  town,  we 
find  ourselves  upon,  a  spacious  avenue 
knowu  as 

JAOqTJBS  OARTIBR  SQUARE, 

Which  brings  us  at  once  to  the  heart  of 
the  city.  'The  famous  Notre  Dame  street 
runs  at  right  angles  with  the  square,  at 
whose  upper  end  is  a  monument  to  Lord 
Nelson.  The  great  sea-dog  is  represented 
in  colossal  form  on  the  top  of  a  Tuscan 
column  When  the  monument  was  erect- 
ed in  1804  it  was  considered  a  marvel  of

marvel  of 


art,  but  a  different  opinion  is  entertained 
nowadays. 

To  the  right  we  .^ave  the  new  city  hall, 
a  splendid  structure  recently  completed 
at  immense  cost.  It  is  built  of  gray 
Montreal  stone,  a  iiard,  durable  material, 
not  easily  worked,  but  preHcnting  a  fine 
iippearance.  A  good  deal  remains  to  be 
done  before  tlie  iiall  and  its  grounds  may 
be  regarded  as  fulfilling  the  dreams  of  the 
projectors  of  both.  Immediately  opposite 
18  the  Normal  school,  under  the  charge  of 
the  Roman  Catholic  clergy.  This  build- 
ing is  probably  the  most  ancient  in  Mon- 
treal. It  was  in  the  olden  times  the 
house  of  the  governors,  and  ^xtspessef 
much  interest  to  the  antinuarian.  Em- 
bowered in  trees,  the  Court  house,  a  state- 
ly edifice  built  upon  a  severely  classical 
model,  uplifts  ^4,8  majestic  portico.  This 
hall  of  justice  occupies  the  site  of  the  old 
jail  of  Montreal,  and  has  been  a  costly  In- 
vestment to  suitors  ever  since  its  erection, 
for  upon  every  civil  action  is  taxed  a  sum 
to  be  applied  to  the  court  house  fund. 
The  rear  of  the  court  house  faces  upon 
the  Champ  de  Mars  (Campus  Martins),  or 
parade  ground  for  the  troops.  It  is  a 
splendid  elevated  plain  upon  which  2,500 
troops  might  be  nicely  maneuvred,  and 
have  been,  many  a  time,  during  British 
occupation.  The  Ch'>mp  de  Mars  formed 
a  portion  of  the  for* '  icalions  of  Montreal, 
constructed  in  1758,  and  torn  down  within 
tlie  memory  of  many  of  the  preserA*;  gen- 
eration. It  is  still  a  fiworite  di'ill  gi  ound. 
Slipping  away  from  this  martial  ground 
we  pass  St.  Crabriel's  church,  a  queer  old 
structure,  the  oldest  Presbyterian  church 
in  Canada,  erected  shortly  after  the  con- 
quest, and  numbering  among  its  congre- 
gation to-day  descenoants  of  its  founders. 
Across  the  way  are  the  Montreal  offices  of 
the  local  government. 

Regaining  Notve  Dame  street,  we  are 
enabled  to  peer  into  some  of  the  old 
French  thoroughfares,  St.  Vincent  street, 
for  instance.  Here  everything  is  ancient 
and  time-stained.  The  roadway  is  only 
about  half  as  wide  as  an  average  Detroit 
alley,  the  sidewalks,  a  modern  improve- 
ment, about  a  yard,  perhaps  less,  in  width. 
Tlie  houses  are  old,  black,  frowsy  and  for- 
bidding. Here  you  have  on  one  side  (on 
St.  Jean  Baptiste  street)  a  blind  wall;  the 
old  wall  of  a  convent  which  formerly  ab- 
sorbed the  best  nart  of  the  town;  here, 
you  have  a  lot  of  houses  whose  overhang- 
'ng  roofs  threaten  to  tumble  upon  you, 
ktnd  from  whose  cobwebby  windows  come 
whiffs  of  the  odors  of  a  by-gone  century. 

Nearly  opposite  a  broad  descending 
avenue  leading  to  St.  Lawrence  Main 
street,  a  great  artery  of  retail  trade,  is  the 
gateway  leading  to  the  chapel  of  the 
Kuns  of  the  Congregation  of  Notre  Dame. 
The  good  ladies  uad  the  sense  to  see  that 
triide  was  coming  their  way,  and  accord- 
ly  built  up  the  front  of  their  property  in- 
to handsome  stores  which    now   yield 


splendid  rents.  To  the  right,  a  little  fur- 
ther down,  is  a  splendid  rani"i  of  stores, 
known  as  the  "Cathedral  Blocic,"  from  be- 
ing erected  on  the  site  of  the  Anglican 
cathedral,  burned  down  in  IWM.  A  few 
steps  now  brin^  us  to  the  Placed' Armes, 
an  exquisite  little  park  serving  as  a 
breathing  place  in  a  quadrangle  of  pal- 
aces. First  you  have,  looming  221  feet  in 
the  air  above  yyu,  the  massive  towers  of 
the  parish 

CHURCH  OF  NOTRK.  DAME, 

An  immense  structure  with  accommoda- 
tion for  8,000  worshipers  easily,  and  12,- 
000  at  a  pinch.  It  was  commenced  in 
1824,  and  has  been  building  more  or  less 
ever  since,  for  it  is  not  yet  finished,  and 
no  one  knows  When  it  will  be.  The  In- 
terior has  just  undergone  a  gorgeous  pro- 
cess of  painting  in  the  Byzantine  style. 
Every  inch  of  the  edifice  has  been  hand- 
painted  in  countless  designs,  at  immense 
cost.  The  decorations  of  the  church  ftre 
superb,  and  a  statue  of  the  Virgin  to  the 
right  of  the  grand  altar,  will  well  repay 
inspection.  Vastness  is  the  characteris- 
tic of  this  fane  in  every  respect.  In  the 
western  towers  of  the  "  Parois^e,"  (Par- 
wasae)  as  the  French  call  the  church,  is 
hung  the  largest  bell  on  the  continent, 
the  "Gros  Bourdon."  This  monster, 
weighing  over  ten  tons,  has  a  baouth  so 
capacious  tliat  30  men  might  stand  under 
it,  and  it  requires  the  strength  of  16  men 
to  ring  it.  Visitors  are  admitted  to  the 
tower,  and  may  have  the  pleasure  of 
tramping  up  several  hundred  steps  fcr  25 
cents.  The  reward  is  worth  all  the  trou- 
ble, for  the  view  from  the  platform  at  the 
top  is  superb.  In  the  eastern  tower  there 
is  a  splendid  chime  of  bells,  but  as  French 
Canadians  can  never  be  taught  to  chime, 
they  are  alwaysswung.anu  owing  to  the 
number  of  occasions  upon  which  bells  are 
found  necessary  in  the  Roman  ritual,  they 
are  seldom  silent. 

THE  SEMINARY  OF  ST.  8ULPICE 

Adjoins  the  Parish  Church.  On  its  front 
is  a  queer  old  clock  which  rings  the  hours, 
halves  and  quarters.  The  old  gate  of  the 
seminary  still  remains  with  the  monogram 
A.  M.  (Ave  Maria)  over  it,  but  the  glory 
of  the  place  has  deps'.rted,  so  far  as  the 
work  of  the  seminary  is  concerned,  to  the 
"priests'  farm"  or  Monklands,  where  the 
college  is  now  located.  The  land  was  loo 
valuable  to  keep  for  college  purposes,  and 
so  was  sold  off,  until  little  now  remains 
but  the  church,  the  presbytery,  and  the 
seminary  gardens.  Turning  into  the  Place 
D' Armes  again  we  find  facing  us  the  really 
sj)lendid  portico  of  the  Bank  of  Montreal. 
The  entablature  of  this  si-ructure  is  a 
work  of  art  of  uncommon  merit.  The 
bank  has  the  largest  paid  up  capital,  $i2,- 
000,000,  of  any  on  the  continent.  Adjoin- 
ing it  to  the  right,  is  the  People's  Bank, 
diagonally  across  the  way,  the  Jacques

Allen,  Canada's  steamship  kin^.  and  has  a 
paid  up  capital  of  »0,000,()0C. 

We  are  now  upon  great  8t.  James  Street, 
for  its  whole  length  remarkable  for  im- 
posing and  magniticent  structures,  chief 
among  which  is  the  Post  Ofllce,  recently 
completed  by  the  Canatlian  government. 

At  tlie  corner  of  St.  James  and  St  Peter  I 
Streets,  and  opposite  the  Merchants' bank, ! 
is  the  hall  of  the  Mechanics'  Institute,  a : 
liandsome,   substantial    building,   which ; 
was  for  many  years  Montreal's  only  con-  ■ 
cert  room,  or  available  hall  for  any  pur- 
pose.   It  has  a  tine  library  and  reading 
room,»;nd  in  many  wajjs  the  Institute  in- 
fluences for  good  the  rising  generation  of 
Montreal.    A  few  steps  will  bring  us  to 
Victoria  Square,  a  splendid  row  of  build- 
ings, the   "Albert   lilock,"   so   named  in 
honor  of  the  late  Prince  Consort,  furnish- 
es a  lordly  abiding  place  for  the  chief  oftl- 
cers  and  staff  of  tlie 

QKAND  TRUNK  RAILWAY. 

The  broad  street  running  at  right  angles 
to  the  river  here  is  McGill  Street,  and  it  is 
lined  with  great  stone  ware  houses  of  ele- 
gant architecture.  It  is  the  centre  of  the 
wholesale  dry  goods  and  clothing  trade. 

In  Victoria  Square,  a  veiT  hardsome 
park,  is  a  statue  of  Queen  Victoria,  by 
Marshall  Wood,  who  had  the  cheek  to 
charge  ihe  city  810  000  for  a  lump  of  bronze 
which  is  as  much  u-^like  the  queen  as  Vin- 
nie  Ream's  statue  is  unlike  Lincoln. 

Victoria  Square  was,  in  1877,  the  scene 
of  the  Orange  riot.  The  .unfortunate 
young  man,  Hackett,  was  murdered  on  the 
east  side  of  the  square  at  the  door  of  a 
large  wholesale  dry  goods  store,  in  which 
he  tried  to  obtain  slielter  when  chased  by 
a  bloodthirsty  mob,but  from  which  he  was 
shamefully  repulsed.  Victoria  Square 
practically  divides  the  business  part  of 
Montreal  from  "Grifflntown,"  the  quarter 
most  inhabited  by  the  opponents  of  Or- 
angeism.  To  the  left,  as  we  cross  Craig 
Street,  we  find  the  superb  building  of  the 
Young  Men's  Christian  Association.  The 
Y.  M.  C  A.  of  Montreal  is  the 

PARENT  80CIETV  OF  THE  WORLD, 

Having  been  founded  in  1551,  It  is  now 
housed  in  a  Gothic  building  which  cost 
850,000,  has  a  fine  library  and  reading- 
room,  and  an  elegant  lectu  re  hall  (Asso- 
ciation Hall)  for  lecture  purposes  and  ser- 
vices.   The    work,   in   different   depart- 


ments carried  on  by  the  association,  lit 
very  extensive,  necessitating  a  large  ex- 
penditure of  money  and  great  personal 
sacriHce  on  the  part  of  the  a(!tive  mem- 
bers. 

Leaving  the   hall    and    passing   aXouu 
liadegouae  street,  we  arrive  at  the  foot  of 

BKAVKRIIALL 

Hill,  so  called  because  the  Hudson  liay 
('ompany  in  the  good  old  fur  ti<uling  days 
had  their  head(iuarters  here  Those  were 
the  days  when  everything  was  estimated 
by  its  relation  to  the  value  of  a  beaver 
skin.  There  are  some,  however,  who 
call  it  Piety  Hill,  from  the  churches 
nutrking  its  ascent.  First  we  have  Zion 
church,  Congregational,  then  the  churcli 
of  the  Messiah,  Unitaruin,  looking  consid- 
erably, in  some  respects,  like  tlie  oartizan 
of  a  mediwval  castle.  Across  the  street  is 
the  First  Baptist  church,  and  opposite  it 
St.  Andrew's,  built  on  the  model  of  Salis- 
bury Cathedral.  As  we  move  along  in 
this  district  we  begin  to  understand  why 
Montreal  has  been  called  a  city  of 
churches,  for  one  is  met  at  almost  every 
step.  Thus,  as  you  go  along  Dorchester 
street,  after  you  pass  to  the  right  the 
coldly  palatial  quarters  of  the  St.  James 
Club,  you  are  face  to  face  with  St.  Paul's 
church,  (Presbyterian)  a  fine  specimen  o( 
the  decorated  Gothic,  where  llev.  John 
Jenkins,  father  of  the  celebrated  author 
of 

"QINX'S   BABY" 

Preaches  to  an  aristocratic  congregation. 
In  a  vast  square,  contiguous  to  St.  Paul's 
is  in  process  of  erection  a  temple  which 
will  be,  when  completed,  one  or  the  won- 
ders of  the  continent.  It  is  the  Cathedral 
of  St.  Peter,  and  it  is  being  built  on  the 
model  of  St.  Peter's  at  Eome,but  one  fourth 
smaller.  Though  eight  years  have  been 
spent  upon  what  has  thus  far  been  accom- 
plished, little,  comparatively  speaking,  has 
been  done,  and  it  is  not  probable  that  the 
present  generation  of  the  faithful  will 
ever  atte..d  mass  witliin  the  precincts  of 
St.  Peter's.  The  church,  which  will  cost 
no  one  knows  how  much,  is  being  built  by 
the  voluntary  contributions  of  the  people. 
We  are  now  at  Dominion  Square,  and 
before  us  looms  up  the  Windsor, 

CANADA'S  ROYAL   HOTEL,      ' 

Where  the  Evening  News  excursionists 
will  find  elegant  quarters  during  tlieir 
stay  in  Montreal.  The  Windsor  Hotel  grew 
out  of  the  enterprise  of  a  number  of  gen- 
tlemen headed  by  Sir  Hugh  Allan  who  were 
dissatisfied  witli  the  hotel  accommodation 
of  the  city.  Taking  the  Palmer  house, 
Chicago,  as  their  model,  they  went  to 
work  and  spent  over  a  million  iu  a  hotel 
which  may  have  one  or  two  equals,  but 
certainly  no  superiors  on  the  contiueni.. 
The  lessee  of  the  hotel,  Mr.  Worthingtou,

der    stone      spire    of 
Christ  church.     Christ 
church  deserves  special 
mention,  though  every 
one   of    the    churches 
named   are    handsame 
and  costly  stone  'dittces. 
It   is  one  of  the  finest 
churches  on  the  conti- 
nent, and  the  cathedral 
of  the  primate  of  Can- 
ada.    It    is    built   of 
Montreal       limestone, 
principally,  with  dressings  of  ('aen  atone, 
imported  from  France.    Elaborate  sculp- 
turing lavishly  displayed,  marks  the  ex- 
terior, while  the  interior  is  a  mass  of  ricli, 
pt  harmonious   and   artistic  decoration. 
The  chief  feature  of  attraction  is  a  spire 
of  solid  masonry,  rising  some  200  feet,  a 
piece  of  bold  and  able  stone  craft     In  tlie 
cathedral  close  is  a  superb  memorial  cross 
to  perpetuate  the  name  of  the  late  Bishop 
Fulford.    The  palace  of  the  Metropolitan 
or  Senior  Bishop  of  Canada,  is  also  on  the 
grounds     To  the   west  of  the   palace  is 
Synod  Hall,  better  known  to  most   Mon- 
trealers   as   "Breach   of   Promise   Hall."

Who  was  wooed  by  a  merchant  with  much 
wealth.  He  was  fickle,  jilted  her  and 
married  another  lady  who  had  but  a  shoit

died  two  years  after  his  uuirriage,  and 
his  widow,  enriched  by  his  fortune,  mar-

been  a  barrier. 

More  time  might  be  devoted  to  churches, 
but  we  must  close  with  a  visit  to  the 
church  of  the  (Jesu  or  Jesuit's  church  on 
Bleury  Street.  The  Jesuits  in  spite  of  all 
attempts  to  prevent  them  regaining  foot- 
hold in  Canada,  have  succeeded  in  recov- 
ering the  ground  they  lost  at  the  Conquest, 
and  liJive  now  practically  regained  control 
over  (Jatholic  education  in  Lower  Canada. 
Whatever  may  be  the  commonly  received 
opinion  of  Jesuitism,  one  thing  is  certain 
of  its  teaching,  it  tends  toward  making 
men  good  citizens.  Their  church  in  Mon- 
treal is  famous  for  its  frescos,  executed 
by  a  great  Italian  artist  The  fane  is,  to 
express  much  in  a  few  words,  a  veritable 
art  gallery,  in  which  hours  may  be  spent

real,  in  the  language  of  Lord  l)uff«rln,the 

KINK8T  PARK   IN  THE  WOULD. 

A  wliole  mountain  is  taken  up  with  the 
breathing  and  enjoying  place  of  u  people. 
From  a  Held,  broken  up  with  gentle  as- 
cents, a  rojul  winding  by  ways  which  pre- 
sent beauty  at  every  turn,  has  been  cut 
and  made  so  that  a  hill,  once  only  tbccessi- 
ble  to  the  stoutest  and  most  indomitable 
climber,  is  now  easily  reached  to  its  sum- 
mit b}'  a  carriage  and  pair.  The  roadiway  Is 
superb,  and  when  the  summit  is  reached, 
what  a   vision  I    There   stretches  away 
tue  dreamy  length  of  the  St.  Lawrence, 
islanded  as"  far  as  the  eye  can  reach.    The 
Catskllls  are  in  the  distance,  and  the  tips 
of  the  Green  Mounialns.    Nearer  are  the 
humps  of  Montarvllle  and  Uelocll,  while 
to  the  north  may  be  seen  rising  the  blue 
hills  of  tlie  Laurentides.     The  city  lies 
at  the  foot,  humming  with  busy  industry. 
Near  by,  hewn  out  of  the  eternal  iock,are 
the  immense  reservoirs  from  whi^h  Mon- 
treal draws  her  dally  40,000,000  gallons  of 
water,  and  from  here  all  her  institutes 
of  learning  are  visible.    There,   for  In- 
stance, at   the   base  of  the   mountain. 
Is   McGlll  University,  famous  through- 
out  the  .world,    through    Its   principal. 
Dr.   Dawvon,   the   great   scientist,    who 
has  devoted  his  life  to  the  advocacy  of 
God  in  science.    The  University  Is  the 
centre  of  Canadian  thought  and  progress 


overnmei)'.;  found  necessary  to  hang  after 
the  rebellion  of  1?.37.  These  cemeteries 
lie  in  gentle,  silent  valleys  between  the 
mountains,  where  there  is  never  sound  of 
liuman  ntrlfe. 

Montry>al  is  on  the  whole,  a  great,  strong 
city.  In  manufactures,  in  commerce  ana 
in  navigation .  She  Is  the  great  distribut- 
ing centre  of  Canada.  Here  is  where  the 
freat  Allan  Line  of  steamers  turn  out 
heir  enormous  freights.  Here  the  Grand 
Trunk  centres  Its  business.  Here  the 
grain  trady  of  the  west  turns  Its  yellow 
wealth  Into  the  elevators-  Here  the  fur 
trade  of  tlie  north  looks  for  Its  return  In 
corn  and  kind.  Here  Is  done  the  great 
clothing,  boot  and  shoeing  trade  of  the 
country.  The  metal  works,  wood  works, 
car  works,  drug  works.  In  fact  nearly  all 
the  works  of  the  country  c«ntre  here.  The 
warehouses  of  Montreal,  on  the  great 
business  streets  are  unsurpassed  In  mag- 
nificence of  architecture  in  the  world,  and 
the  city  as  a  whole.  Is  one  well  worthy  of 
the  study  of  every  man  who  wishes  to  see 
how  large  a  growth  may  be  effected  from 
small  and  well  directed  efforts. 

The  Victoria  bridge  is  a  work  under- 
taken by  the  Grand  Trunk  railway  com- 
pany of  Canada.    It  connects  Polnte  St. 
I  Charles    with   the   Southern   shore,  but 
i  would  never  have  been  necessary  had  the

breast  of  the  hill. 

From  the  mountain  we  see  the  long 
streets  of  palatial  homes  which  the  Mon- 
treal merchants  have  made  for  themselves. 
Montreal,  like  Detroit,  is  a  city  of  homes. 
The  resldental  quarters  are  replete  with 
the  elegant  nests  of  successful  families.

88,000,000,  and  the  loss  of  life  during  its 
construction,  was  considerable.  It  was 
designed  by  the  great  Stepiienson  and 
carried  to  a  completion  by  Sir  Morton 
Peto.  As  a  bridge  it  has  no  equal  in  the 
world,  but  science  has  proved,  since  the 
Prince  of  Wales  drove  the  last  rivet  In 
1860,  that  long  bridges  can  be  put  up  at  a 
much  cheaper  rate.  A  project  Is  now  on 
foot  to  bridge  the  river  at  about  one- 
twelfth  of  what  it  cost  to  build  the  Vic- 
toria.

I  Is  situated  at  the  Imineilia  **  base  of  the 
!  Mt.  Wtishtngton  (or  Preside  itlal)  range, 
I  and  the  view  from  th«  piaz/.a  if  the  hotel 
is  one  of  tlie  finest  in  the  mountains.  The 
sharp  pointed  peak  directly  in  frontof  the 
*  hotel  is  Mt.  Adams,  5,704  feet  high— to  the 
left  is  what  appears  to  lie  a  trinio  point- 
;  ed  mountain,  but  which,  in  reality,  con- 
I  sists  (.f   three  peaks,  the  first  being  Mt. 
•lefferson,  .5,714  feet   higki,  next   Mt.  Clay, 
!  5..5,Vi  high,  and  farthest  to  the  left  is  Mt. 
I  Washington,  which  although  anparentlv  a 
lesser  iieak.  Is  really  U,'ju:i  feet  iiigli<  being 
the  loftiest  of  them  all.    The  distance  to 
the  summit  of  Mt.  Washington  from  the 
(flen  House,    is  eight  miles,  and  tiie  car- 
riage roiui  lies  over  Mts.  .lefferson  and 
Clay. 

'  Ttie  summits  of  these  peaks  are  fre- 
quently capped  in  the  clouds,  which  gives 
a  better  idea  of  the  lieight  than  any  guide 
lH>ok  statistics  can  possibly  do.  The  Glen 
House  is  most  favorably  Wk-^ated  of  all  the 
hotels  in  the  mountains  so  obtain  views 
of  this  range — U  ■  house  itself  is  one  of 
the  largest  in  tlie  [Jnited  Htates,  and  is 
lighted  with  gas,  and  has  every  moilern 
improvement.  The  proprietors  Messrs. 
W.  &  C.  R  Milliken,  are  thorough  hotel 
men,  and  their  success  is  the  beat  evidence 
that  tliey  thoroughly  understand  how  to 
cater  to  the  wants  of  the  traveling  public. 
The  excursion  party  will  spend  two  days 
at  the  Glon  House,  which  will  give  ample 
time  to  ascend  Mt  Washington,  visit 
(Jlen  Ellis  and  Crystal  Cascade  Falls,  with 
margin  left  for  fiahing  for  brook  trout 
i:  the  Peabody  River,  or  strolling  ad  libi- 
:>  m.  Not  the  least  of  the  attraction!:  at 
ne  Glen  House  is  the  table,  at  which  the 
tourist  is  generally  a  most  devoted  and 
appreciative  attendant,  'ihe  fare  is  un- 
excelled and  the  service  is  a  novelty  in 
dining  room  management,  for  the  waiters 
are  all  college  students  who  .spend  their 
vacations  in  recuperating  at  the  mountains 
and  at  the  same  time  replenishing  their 
depleted  purses.

ably with  the  Swiss  Alps,  and  those  who 
have  traveled  widely  in  foreign  lands  are 
generally  most  enthusiastic  In  speaking 
of  their  grandeur  and  beauty.  Those  who 
have  simplv  paused  by  the  mountains  on 
the  railroad,  are  not  qualified  to  judge  of 
the  scenery,  except  in  the  most  superncial 
manner. 

The  tourist  needs  to  stop  a  day  or  two 
at  least,  when,  exchanging  the  Pullman 
for  the  mountain  coach,  the  very  heart  of 
the  mountains  should  be  penetrated.  Fine 
as  are  some  of  the  views  that  are  lo  be 
gleaned  from  the  windows  or  rear  plat-

IN  THE  HEART  OF  THE  MOLjNTAINS. 


MT.  WASHINGTON  which  is  6,293 
feet,  or  nearly  a  mile  and  a  quar- 
ter high,  rises  over  500  feet  above  the 
loftiest  of  the  surrounding  peaks.  On 
account  of  this  elevation,  the  summit 
forms  an  arctic  island  in  the  temperate 
zone,  having  the  same  climate  as  Green- 
land at  70"  north  latitude.  This  Is  shown 
both  by  the  temperature  and  the  vegeta- 
tion. The  latl.ude  Is  44°  16'  2.5"  north, 
and  the  longitude  is  76°  16'  2.5"  west.  The 
Interest  in  this  mountain  is  enhanced  by 
knowing  that  the  highest  geological  au- 
thorities place  it  among  the  very  earliest 
formations  of  the  earth's  surface.  Isaac 
Hill  says:    "Mt.  Washington  luul"  been 


thousands  of  years  in  existence  before  the 
internal  fires  upheaved  the  Alps." 

PKOOF8  OF  THE  ICE  PERIOD. 

The  grooves  and  scratches  on  all  but 
the  south  side  show  the  course  of  the 
ice-bearing  ocean  of  the  glacial  epoch. 
These  marks  are  found  to  within  1,100 
feet  of  the  summit,  hence  the  surround- 
ing valleys  must  have  been  filled  with  Ice, 
a  mile  thick,  which,slowly  moving  south, 
finally  submitted  to  a  southern  sun.  An- 
other proof  that  Mt.  Washington  aflgrds 
of  the  Ice  period,  and  which  mak-^s  it  of 
great  Interest  to  the  scientist,  is  a  recent 
discovery  thai  a  flying  insect  found  on

ASCENSION   OF   MT.  WASHINGTON. 


the  Hum!!i]it,  but  no  where  else  iu  the 
United  States,  ia  the  same  as  others 
known  to  be  native  only  in  latitudes 
north  of  70°.  The  theory  is,  that  they  ac- 
companied the  ice  south  as  far  as  Mt. 
Washington,  and  by  the  melting  away  of 
the  ice  with  which  it  was  surrounded, 
were  Anally  stranded  on  the  lummit, 
where  they  still  find  a  congenial  climate. 

VEGETATION. 

Not  only  is  the/auna  of  the  frigid  zone 
found,  but,  HS  i.s  well  known,  the  flora  of 
Mt  Washington  Ik  identical  with  that  of 
the  Arctic  regions.  He  who  jiscends  to 
this  altitude  has  a  similar  opportunity  for 
botanic  study,  as  if  he  made  a  journey  to 
the  north,  passinvr  first  from  the  noble  for- 
ests with  which  we  are  familiar,  to  those 
of  stunted  growth,  and  finally  leaving 
them  behind  altogether,  at  length  j,rriv- 
ing  at  the  barren  and  blttak  regions  be- 
neath the  Arctic  Circle  In  approaching 
the  mountain  summits,  one  is  &rat 
struck  by  the  appearance  of  the  firs  and 
spruces,  which  gradually  become 

HOKE  AND  MORE  DWAKFISH, 

At  length  rising  but  a  few  feet  from  the 
ground^  the  branches  spreading  out  hori- 
zontally many  feet,  and  becoming  thickly 
interwoven.  These  present  a  compara- 
tively dense  upper  surface,  which  is  often 
firm  enough  tc  walk  upon.  At  length 
these  disappear  wholly,  and  give  place  to 
the  Lapland  rhododendron,  Labrador  tea, 
dwarf  birch,  and  Alpine  willows,  all  of 
which,  after  rising  a  few  inches  above 
the  ground,  spread  out  over  the  surface 
of  the  nearest  rock,  thereby  gaining 
warmth,  which  enables  them  to  exist  in 
spite  of  tempest  and  cold.  Th-sse  in  their 
turn  give  place  to  the  Greeniand  sand- 
wort, the  diapensia,  the  cassiope,  and 
others,  with  arctic  rushes,  sedges,  and 
lichens,  which  flourish  on  the  very 
summit. 

rK?iS»  ARARAT  IN  AMERICA. 

According  to  Binton's  Myths  of  the 
Hew  World,  the  tradition  of  the  deluge 
was  held  by  28  of  the  aboriginal  tribes 
of  North  and  South  America.  The  In 
dians  in  this  section  beli"ived  that  Mt. 
Washington  was  the  place  where  a 
few  found  a  place  of  safety,  and  es- 
caped. 

time's  CHANGES  ON  MT.  WASHINGTON. 

In  1642  the  first  ascension  of  Mt. 
Washington  was  made  by  Darby  Field ; 
in  1810  Abel  and  Ethan  Allen  Craw- 
ford made  the  first  path  to  the  summit :  '■ 
the  bridle-path  was  made  in  1819,  and  ~ 
Abel  Crawford  rode  the  fiist  hoxse  up, 
exclaiming,  "Can  it  be  possible  that  a 
live  horse  stands  on  the  summit  of 
Mount  Washington ! "  The .  first  house 
was  built  by  the  Crawfords ;  the  old 
Summit  House  was  put  up  in  1852  and 
the  Tip-top  house  in  1863 ;  the  carriage- 


::fp^a^r":--^^- 


road  was  finished  in  1861,  the  railroad 
in  U<09,  and  the  present  Summit  house  in 
1870.       ,^    , 

THB  ASCENSION 

Of  Mt,  Washington  is  la  creme  de  la 
creme  of  the  mountain  axperience,  how- 
ever. Thfc  railwa3r  and  bridle  path  run 
up  from  the  west  side,  bui  for  beauty  and 
variety  of  scenery  nothing  equals  the 
carriage-road  from  the  Glen.  Having  sat- 
isfied yourself  by  lo  jking  through  the  tel- 
escope at  the  Glen  House,  that  the  speck 
upon  the  distant  summit  is  the  Summit 
Ilouse,  where  you  hope  after  a  four  or 
five  hours'  ride  to  take  dinner,  it  will  be- 
hoove you  to  put  a  shawl  or  overcoat  «n- 
der  and  yourself  upon  the  seat  of  the 
carnage  at  the  door,  and  allow  the  driver 
to  give  free  rein  to  his.team  of  six  horses. 
The  technical  term  for  ascending  the 
mountain  is  "  attacking "  the  mountain. 
The  attack,  then,  in  tl  is  instance,  is  to  be 
from  the  Glen,  and  over  a  fine  road  that 
belongs  to  a  stock  company. 

RIDING  rV  STAIRP.      '     V 

From  the  toll  gate  to  the  summit  the 
grade  is  a  constant  ascent,  varying  from 
5  to  26  degrees,  and  for  the  first  third  of 
the  distance  is  buried  in  the  dense  foliage 
of  the  forests,  upon  the  '"wer  side.  The 
sultry  temperature  of  the  valley  below  is 
exchanged  for  the  exhilarating  mountain 
air,  which  becomes  cool  and  bracing.  It 
is  wholly  unlike  and  distinct  from  any 
lowland  air,  and  will  be  breathed  in  with 
delight  as  a  new  and  enjoyable  experi- 
ence. 

As  you  ascend  you  will  see  that  the 
mountain  ash,  with  its  scarlet  berries, 
an  i  other  small  varieties  of  trees  are  sub-

stitutes  for  the  great  forest  trees  near  ihe

THE  FIK8T  VIEW 

Is  a  great  satisfaction,  although  you  take 
it  by  "  snatches,"  the  Orush  upon  the  sii-'^ 
of  the  road  being  tall  enough  to  frequent- 
ly interrupt  the  view.    Finally,  at  the 

UALF-WAY  HOUSE, 

The  prospect  becomes  suddenly  tpened, 
and  a  vast  panorama  of  indescribable 
grandeur  ana  beauty  invites  attention, 
and— generally  receives  what  it  asks  for. 
The  vocabulary  of  exclamations  that 
are  here  thrown  on  the  wind,  is  much  too 
"  numerous  "  for  the  limits  of  this  guide- 
book. The  accumulation  of  "Ohs!"  and 
"  Ahsl^and  the  like,  that  have  been  pre 
pared  by  constant  practice  on  the  earlier 
part  of  the  ride,  will  soon  be  expended, 
and  the  excursionist  will  sit  in  silence  be- 
fore the  impressive  scene,  realizing  only 
the  quick  heart-beats  and  the  inability  to 
express  the  natural  emotions.  It  is  only 
a  step,  however 


MT.  WASHINGTON  RAII-WAV. 
FKOM  TUK  SUBLIME  TO  THE  RIDICULOUS, 

For,  if  you  do  pU  your  predecessors  have 
done,  and  strict  orthodoxy  requires,  vou 
will  get  out  at  i\>e  Half  Way  House  (a 
little  wood  shanty),  an;'  .^k  the  "land- 
lord" (who  cooks  for  the  workmen  upon 
the  carriage  road),  if  he  has  any  spruce 
gum? 

THEY  ALL  DO  IT, 

And  you  might  ai  well  unbend  your  dig- 
nity at  this  point  of  the  trip,  and  follow 
in  this  time-honored  custom  and  invest 


in  "ten  cents  worth  of  gum."  From  this 
point,  tourists  are  usually  observed  to  de- 
velop facial  "gestures"  that  cannot  wholly 
be  ascribed  to  emotion,  and  an  inclination 
to  expectorate,  not  wholly  attributable  to 
the  change  in  temperatnre. 

SHAWLSJAND  OVEUCOax  .. 

Ale  generally  donned  before  proceeding, 
and  found  to  be  seasonable  and  comfort- 
able. Little  vegetation  is  passed  on  the 
remainder  of  the  ascent,  except  "  scrubs," 
whose  gnarled  roots  seem  to  be  crawling 
over  the  rocks  like  so  many  snakes;  short 
evergreens  with  their  limos  reaching  to- 
wards the  south,  wbich{show  the  direction 
and  power  of  the  winds  in  winter;  and 
lastly,  the  mosses  and  tiny  daisies  on  the 
very  summit. 

STEPPING  HEAVENWARD 

So  greatly  do  the  views  ^enlargeVas  you 
progress,  that  you  feel  chagrined  at  hav- 
ing exhausted  your  very  best  remarks  on 
so  inferior  an  occasion  as  you  now  feel 
the  Half  Way  House  to  have  been,  and 
you  realize  that  you  have 
now  either  to  repeat 
(which  William  S.  never 
did)  or  to  let  it  be  infer- 
red by  your  silence  and 
indifference  that  you 
could  very  easily  express 
yourself  if,  like  Sairey 
Gamp,  you  felt  so  "dis- 
poged." 

MT.    WASHINGTON    B.aL- 
WAY. 

Try  to  get  to  the  sum- 
mit by  2  p.  M.,  as  at  this 
time  the  train,  which 
makes  two  round  trips  a 
day,  will  start  down  the 
west  side.  The  times  for 
the  trains  farting /rom 
the  base  is  at  10  A.  m.  and 
.5:16  P.  M.,  and  at  7  A.  m. 
and  2  P.  M./rom  the  sum- 
mit. This  railway  is  Q% 
miles  long  and  rises  over 
5,000  feet  in  making  the 
ascent.  The  fare  is  three 
dollars  up  the  mountain, 
three  dollars  down,  or 
four  dollars  up  and  down 
on  the  same  train.  Since 
its  completion  in  1869,  over  60,000  passen- 
gers have  ascended  by  it  and  not  one  of 
them  was  injured,  a  fact  that  speaks  well 
for  its  safety.

In  1877  the  record  shows  a  fluctuation 
between  40°  and  60°  with  50°  as  an  average- 
The  snow  fell  on  the  22d  of  June  and  3d 
of  September  of  that  year,  but.  none  be- 
tween. The  hotel  is  a  long,  low,  white 
frame  building,  securely  chained  to  the 
rocks.  It  contains  one  hundred  sleeping 
rooms,  well  furnished,  and  warmed  by 
steam,  so  that  its  patrons  are  as  comfort- 
able and  as  well  served  as  at  any  hotel 
among  the  mountains.  The  table  is  flrst- 
class,  and  Mrs.  J.  W.  Dodge,  manager, 
states  that  no  pains  will  be  spared  to  make 
its  patrons  feel  that  they  can  pass  a  day 
or  a  night  above  the  clouds  with  as  much 
comfort  as  they  can  below. 

AMONG  THE  CLOUDS. 

There  are  three  buildings  of  interest  to 
the  tourists  on  the  summit  of  Mt.  Wash- 
ington-the  signal  servine  station  and  the 
office  of  the  only  daily  paper  ever  publish- 
cid  among  the  clouds.  It  is  callod 
Among  the  Clouds,  and  is  edited  and 
printed  in  the  old  Tip  Top  House  aiiat 
was  formerly  the  only  hotel  on  the 
summit,)  by  Henry  E  Burt  If  the 
excursionists  will  register  tiieir  names 
and  addresses  at  the  Summit  House, 
they  will  be  printed  in  the  pai.^r,copie8 
of  which  can  be  obtained  before  de-

THE   BVBNINO   HEWS  MONUMENT. 


Mt.  Bela'il ;  i:i5  miles  north,  45  degrees 
west,  and  nearly  over  Pro8))ect  Hill,  Lan- 
caster. 

Lake  MemphremagoK;  70  miles  no>-th, 
40  degrees  west,  over  Jefferson  Hill. 

Mount  Curniel ;  66  miles  north,  10  de- 
greeb-  east,  and  just  over  Mount  Adams. 

Mount  Bigelow ;  70  miles  north,  35  de- 
grees east  and  nearly  over  Mount  Hayes. 

Mount  Abraham ;  65  miles  north,  40  de- 
grees east,  to  the  right  of  Mount  Hayes. 

Mount  Katahdin;  163  miles  north,  45  de- 
grees east,  and  about  half  way  between 
Mount  Hays  and  Mount  Moriali.  This  is 
one  of  I  he  highest  of  the  Adironacks, 
risinv  to  a  height  4,000  feet. 

Mount  M.tnsfleld;  78  miles  north,  78  de- 
grees west,  and  between  the  Twin  Moun- 
tain House  and  Mount  Deception.  It  Is 
the  hijj;lHst  of  the  Green  Mountains.being 
4,300  teet  high,  and  appears  as  a  long 
ridge  bearing  a  fancied  resemblance  to  a 
human  face. 


BUILDING  THE  MONUMENT.  ; 

Mount  Blue;  .57  miles  north,  57  degrees 
east,  and  Mall  way  between  Surprise  and 
Moriah. 

Portland;  65  miles  south,  51  degrees 
east,  and  over  the  northern  summit  of 
Doubleheiid  It  appears  as  a  low  wflte 
hill,  Willi  along  light  blue  line  beyond  it. 
With  a  telescope  the  h'.i  resolves  itself 
into  a  mass  of  closely  packed  white  houses; 
and  the  blue  line  is  seen  to  be  thickly 
studded  with  sails.  The  ocean,  however, 
is  not  as  often  seen  as  some  more  distant 
objects  in  other  directions  partly  because 
the  atmosphere  in  this  direction  seems 
generally  to  be  somewhat  thicker  than 
elsewhere. 

l.iake  Sebago;  43  miles  south,  48  degrees 
east,  an<i  over  Mount  Gemini.  It  is  14 
miles  long,  and  about  11  wide. 

Mount  Agamenticus;  80  miles  south.  24 
degrees  east. 

Isles  of  Shoals;  97  miles  south,  22  de- 
grees east  They  are  verv  difficult  to  see, 
and  aresituaied  on  the  horizon  just  to  the 
right  of  Agiimenlicus. 

Kilington  peaks;  91  miles  south-  50  de- 
grees west,  and  between  Mounts  Liberty 
and  Blue. 

Camel's  Hump;  80  miles  north,  87  de- 


grees west,  and  just  over  Bethlehem.  It 
is  a  striking  looking  mountain,  sliaped 
like  a  truncated  cone. 

Mount  VVhitoface;  130  miles  north,  86 
degrees  west. 

ACCESSIBLE  POmTS  OF  INTEREST. 

Among  the  places  that  can  be  reached 
from  the  summit,  are  Tuckerman's  Ra- 
vine where  can  b^  seen  the  Fall  of  a 
Thousand  Streams,  the  Lake  of  thr  Clouds, 
tlie  Great  (rulf.  Huntington's  Ravine,  the 
Alpine  Garden,  and  many  others  equally 
interesting.  Excursions  to  these  points 
give  a  far  better  idea  of  the  wildness  and 
vaslness  of  this  mountain  peak  than  any 
description  ca!  do.  JSo  one  nhould  at- 
tempt to  visit  them  without  a  competent 
guide,  however. 

NOT  TOO  HIGH  FOR  LITIOATION.v 

More  ttian  825.000  has  been  spent  in 
lawsu'ts  about  the  owuerahip  of  the  top 
of  the  mountain,  the  contestants  being  a 
Mr.  Bellows,  of  Exeter,  and  Coe  & 
Pingree,  of  Salem  and  Bangor.  The 
latter  Anally  compromised  by  purchas- 
ing Bellows'  claims. 

THE  OENBRAL  VIEW 

Has  justly  been  called  "an  epic  land- 
scape." 'rhe  Enj^llsh  Alpestrian,  La- 
irobe,  said  that  it  is  magnitlcent,  but 
gloomy.  The  view-line  sweeps  around 
a  i  ircumference  of  nearly  1,000  miles, 
emoracing  pstrts  of  five  States  and  the 
Province  of  Quebec.  Within  the  vast 
circle  are  seen  scores  of  villages  and 
hamlets,  and  hundreds  of  mountains, 
with  the  widening  valeys  of  the  chief 

:  rivek-  of  New  Engand.  If  the  peak 
was  6,000   feet  higher,  the  beauty  of 

the  view  would  be  seriously  impaired   by 

the  indistinctness  caused  by  the  greater 

distance. 

THE  CLOUD  SCENES. 

It  would  be  a  misfortun«j  indeed  not  to 
witness  the  wonderful  transformations  of 
clouds  that  are  often  spread  out  beneath 
the  level  of  the  summit,  in  the  most  ac- 
tive and  beautiful  of  panoramas.  The 
wii^jr  t'uce  witnessed  a  thunder-storm 
over  tiie  valley  south-east  of  the  summit, 
when  the  tops  of  the  clouds  were  lower 
than  the  rocks  from  which  it  was  viewed. 

THE  EVKNINC    NEWS  MONUMENT 

Was  an  enterprise  begun  in  1878  by  last 
year's  excursion  party.  It  is  located  on 
a  favorable  |>oint  to  the  north  west  of  the 
Tip  Top  House,  and  to  one  insensible  to 
the  possibilities  of  the  future  may  seem 
not  un> ike  a  pile  of  stones.  It  in  a  mon- 
ument, iiowever,  for  over  it  Mr.  Burt 
made  an  oration,  and  about  it  the  build- 
ers gathered  to  sing,  cheer  and  otherwise 
dedicate  it  so  that  now  there  is  little 
to  distinguish  it  from  Bunker  or  any 
other  regularly  dedicated  monument,  ex- 
cept^its  name,  and  the  fact  that  it  is  the 
highest  uionument  in  America.

THE  DESCENT 

Is  made  in  one  quarter  of  the 
time  it  takes  to  make  the  ascent, 
the  eight  miles  from  the  Summit 
House  to  the  Glen  House  being 
frequently  made  in  less  than  one 
hour. 

GLEN  ELLIS  FALLS, 

Five  miles  west  of  the  CJlen 
House,  is  one  or  two  superb  and 
most  picturesque  falls  in  the 
Ellis  river;  the  other  being  the 
Crystal  Cascade,  which  is  but 
three  miles  from  the  Glen  House. 
No  visit  .;o  the  mountains  is  com- 
plete without  a  trip  to  these  ex- 
quisite natural  gems  of  scen- 
ery, let  the  one  who  considers 
this  exaggerated  go  and  look  at 
them,  and— doubt  no  more.  Glen 
Ellis  is  90  and  the  Crystal  Cas- 
cade UO  feet  high,  and  no  combi- 
nation of  water,  rocks,  ferns, 
moss  and  woods  could  be  more 
artistic. 

LEAVING  THE  MOUNTAINS. 

It  will  be  difficult  to  express 
the  regret  with  which  the  stages  for  Gor- 
ham  will  be  taken.  The  mountains  be- 
come friends,  and  two  days  seem  all  too 
brief  to  visit  with  such  friends.  No  one 
is  obliged,  however,  to  go  on  with  the  ex- 
cursion, but  any  and  all  may  remain,  and 
complete  the  tour  leisurely  on  any  regular 
train.  The  stages  will  have  to  be  taken  in 
time  to  catch  tne  8:68  a.  m  train  at  Gor- 
ham.  Saturday,  July  12th. 

SHELBOUBNE 

Is  five  miles  from  Gorham.  To  the  right 
of  the  station  is  seen  the  Winthrop 
House,  with  Mt.  Winthrop  towering  over 
it.  Granny  Starbird's  Ledge  is  passeo 
just  before  reaching  the  station. 

GILEAD, 

Which  is  the  first  town  we  reach  in  the 
State  o'  Maine,  is  six  miles  from  Shel- 
bourne  Station.  It  is  hemmed  in  by  lofty 
mountains.  Fine  views  of  Mts  Waah- 
ingtcn,  Adams  and  Jefferson  may  be  had 
from  the  right.  , ,  " 

WEST  BETHEL         •' 

Is  ten  miles  nearer  Portland.  When 
within  five  miles  of  the  station,  the  train 
passes  Tumble  Down  Dick  and  crosses 
Wild  River  on  a  bridge  250  feet  long 
Just  before  arriving  at  West  Bethel  the 
railway  crosses  Pleasant  River  Concern- 
ing this  scenery  Starr  King  wrote:  "If 
the  railroad  approached  no  nearer  to  Gor- 
ham than  this  point,  a  stage-iide  along 
the  same  route  could  hardly  be  rivaled  in 
New  Hampshire.  What  a  delightful  ave-

upon  us  when  the  mass  of  Madison  is  seen 
throueu  over  the  valley  itself  overtopped 
by  the  ragged  pinnacle  of  Adams." 

BETHEL. 

The  railroad  leaves  the  Androscoggin 
River  at  this  place,  a  companionship  we 
shall  be  loath  to  abandon.  Locike  Moun- 
tain lies  to  the  left  and  Sparrow  Hawk 
Mountain  on  the  right.  In  the  extreme 
right  are  the  peaks  of  Speckled  Mountain 
and  the  Sunday  River  white  Cap.

THE  EASTERN   TERMINATIOxN. 


POHTLAND,  FROM  THE  HARBOR. 

PORTLAND  is  gained  at  1  p.  m.  Satur- 
day, July  12th.  It  is  the  largest  city  in 
Maine,  and  here  we  shall  get  our 
first  glimpse  of  the  sea.  It  is  a  pretty, 
well-built  town,  with  many  very  elegant 
residences.  It  is  located  on  a  little  penin- 
sula, extending  easterly  into  Casco  Bay, 
and,  as  the  average  width  of  this  neck  is 
not  more  than  3^  of  a  mile,  one  does  not 
have  to  go  very  far  from  any  part  of  the 
city  to  reach  the  salt  water.  The  land 
rises  from  the  sides  into  a  kind  of  ridge 
and  at  its  ends  are  two  quite  high  hills. 
The  tide  comes  up  on  both  sides  of  Port- 
land, and  the  elevation  of  the  city  affords 
excellent   facilities    for    drainage,    and 


makes  it  a  very  healthy  place.  The  Bay 
i  contains  numerous  islands,  several  of 
which  are  included  in  the  city  corpora- 
tion. Very  flue  scenery  is  enjoyed  from 
the  elevated  portions  of  this  city,  which 
is  much  admired  oy  tourists  and  of  which 
the  Port  landers  are  justly  proud.  To  see 
the  surrounding  country  and  the  sea  to 
advantage,  the  visitor  should  go  to  Mun- 
joy's  Hill  and  to  the  top  of  the  Observa- 
tory standing  there,  and  use  the  telescope 
placed  there  for  the  purpose  of  watching 
the  ships  far  out  at  sea. 

TUE  FIRST  SETTLEMENT  "'''" 

Was  made  here  in  1632,  by  an  English  col- 
I  ony,  but  it  was  not  incorporated  as  a  town 
I  until  1786.  It  became  a  city  in  1832.  Its 
;  population  is  in  the  neighborhood  of  40,- 
!  000.  Portland  boasts  of  being  the  birth- 
!  place  of  many  celebrities,  prominent 
i  among  whom  are  Henry  W.  Longfellow, 
!  N.  P.  Willis,  and  his  sister  "Fanny  Fern." 
!  Longfellow's  childhood  home  can  still 
j  be  seen  on  Hancock  street,  corner  of  Fore,

WHITJS-HBA1>,  PORTLAND  HARBOR. 


WHITE  HEAD— CUSIIING'S  ISLAND. 
On  the  United  States  coast  survey  charts 
of  Portland  Harbor,  Cushing's  island  is 
styled  "Hang's  Island,"  a  name  by  the 
way,  that  is  essentially  inappropriate,  as 
it  is  a  very  (juiet  and  picturesque  spot. 
White  Head  is  one  of  the  points  of  this 
island  that  should  be  visited.  It  presents 
to  the  sea  a  precipice  of  from  100  to  1.50 


I  feet  in  height,  and  airainst  it  the  ocean 
lashes  itself  into  whit«' foam— hence  the 
name— in  its  vain  effort  to  break  down 
I  this  natural  break-water  and  safeguard  to 
I  the  harbor.  Do  not  fail  as  suggested  to 
I  take  the  little  harbor  steamer,  that  touches 
I  at  each  of  these  islands,  making  the  round 
i  trip  in  about  two  hours,  for  twenty-flve 
I  cents. 


SIDE-TRIP  TO  BOSTON. 


ADVANTAGEOUS  rates  have  been 
obtained  for  aside  trip  from  Portland 
to  Boston,  via  the  steamers  of  the 
Portland  Steam  Packet  Company  and  re 
turn  by  the  Boston  and  Maine  H.  It.  The 
tickets  can  be  obtaine<l  at  theoHlce  of  the 
company  which  is  about  a  block  from  the 
depot.  No  better  use  can  be  made  of  the 
four  days  that  are  allowed  at  Portland, 
(the  Eastern  terminus  of  the  excursion 
proper;  than  to  lake  the  nine  hours'  ride 
on  tne  Atlantic  ocean,  which  in  July  is  not 
apt  to  see  much  rough  weather. 

After  spending  the  Sabbath  and  Mon- 
day in  Boston,  the  cars  of  the  Boston  and 
Maine  R.  R.  can  be  taken,  which  will  give 
transportation  in  about  four  hours  to  Old 


Orchard  Beach,  which  is  on  the  sea  shore, 
bleven  miles  Fouth  of  Portland.  The  price 
of  the  round  trip  will  be  $4.00.  The  tickets 
will  be  good  to  stop  over  at  Boston  and 
Old  Orchard  Beach. 

BOSTON. 

This  old  and  beautiful  city,  the  "Hub" 
of  American  literary  and  musical  culture, 
is  loo  well  known  to  need  description. 
The  merest  skeleton  only  of  facts  and 
dates  will  be  given,  which  will  readily  be 
tilled  in  from  the  reader's  memory.  The 
first  wliite  resident,  was  the  Rev.  John 
Blackstone,  who  arrived  in  1623.  In  1635 
he  sold  his  claim  to  ttie  peninsula,  where 
Boston  now  stands,  for  £30,  and  removed

to  Rhode  Island.  April  24th,  1704,  the  first 
newspaper,  the  Boston  News  Letter,  begun 
publication;  March  5tli,  1770,  was  the  Bos- 
ton Massacre,  and  in  1773  the  tea  was 
thrown  into  the  harbor  by  men  disguised 
as  Indians.  The  city  was  incorporated  in 
1822  with  a  population  of  45,000.  The 
population  in  1876  was  341,910,  but  even 
th's  gives  but  a  slight  idea  of  the  real 
growth  and  importance  of  this  famous 
city,  for  it  is  surrounded  by  a  vast  net- 
work of  independent  cities,  whose  popu- 
lation is  largely  interested  in  the  busi- 
ness of  Boston.  The  trains  that  follow 
each  other  iit  intervals  of  only  a  few 
minutes  on  tiie  dozen  railways  that  center 
at  this  city,  afford  the  same  opportunity 
to  get  in  and  out  from  business,  tha>  horse 
cars  do  in  smaller  places,  so  the  industries 
of  Boston  can  hardly  be  estimated,  unless 
two-thirds  of  the  p()|)ulation  of  a  hun- 
dred of  the  smaller  adjacent  towns 
be  included. 

The  ground  swept  of  ?,so,000,000  worth 


of  property,  by  the  terrible  (ire  of  Novem- 
ber »th,  1872,  has  nearly  all  been  rebuilt  in 
the  finest  possible  manner. 

The  streets  in  the  oldest  part  of  the 
town  are  narrow  and  exceedingly  tortuous. 
Those  in  the  newer  part  are  broad  and  as 
•'regular"  as  the  heart  of  any  Philmlelpiii- 
an  could  desire.  Commonwealth  Avenue, 
running  parallel  with  Boylston  and  Beacon 
streets,  is  240  feet  wide,  r.nd  through  the 
centre  runs  a  long  park  with  rows  of  trees; 
on  eitlier  side  are  wide  drive-ways. 

THE  BKUNSWICK   HODSE 

Is  sufficiency  described  by  saying  that  it 
is  the  finest  house  in  Boston.  It  will  be 
the  stopping  place  of  those  going  on  Thk 
Evening  News  excui-sion.  The  accom- 
modations are  superb  and  ample.

TWO  DAYS  AT  THE  BEACH. 


(.>l.l>    OUCHAKI)     IIKACH. 

LEAVINd    Boston     by    any   regular 
train  on  the  Boston  and  Maine  It.  R., 
Monday  afternoon,  July  14th,  a  shoit'^  ^ 
ride  of  about  four  hours  will  bridge  the 
distance  between  Boston  and 

OLD  OKCnAHD  HEACII. 

This  beach  is  one  of  the  finest  of  south- 
western Miiine.  and  probably  the  most  fre- 
quented. The  beach  here  is  semi-circular, 
smooth  and  hard  as  a  floor,  making  a 
magnificent  |)romenade,  for  those  who 
wish  to  enjoy  to  the  utmost  the  majestic 
sea.  This  beach  affords  the  best  facilities 
for  sea-bathing,  from  its  gradual  sloope. 

THE  OLD  OnCHAKI)  llOVSE 

Is  a  fine  hotel,  fronting  the  sea  for  a  dis- 
tance of  300  feet,  and  has  all  modern  con- 
veniences and  improvements.  It  stands 
on  a  hill,  and  back  of  it,  covering  the  top  of 
the  hill,  is  a  fine  grove  of  evergreens, 
which  the  proprietor  has  improved  with 
seats,  walks,  etc.,  for  a  pleasure  ground 
for  his  guests.  This  hotel  is  four  and  five 
stories  liigb,  and    handsomely    finished 


throughout.  Its  dining- 
rooms  offer  all  the  attrac- 
tions of  excellent  sea-side 
fare,  ami  theHea-llsli  of  every 
variety,  will  be  found  to  pos- 
sess the  flavor  of  absolute 
freshness:  which  cannot  al- 
ways be  said  of  those  pro- 
cured in  western  markets. 
This  house  will  be  the  stop-

order,  but  will  be  most  enjoyed  two  or 
three  hours  before  sunset. 

"Two  are  company,  but  three  are  none," 
may  qualify  the  enjoyment  of  strolling  on 
the  beach  in  the  morning  when  Romeo 
and  Juliet  desire  to  see  what  mosses,  star 
or  jelly  Hsh,  the  ebbing  tide  has  left  strand- 
e('  on  the  sand,  but  ''two"  are  not  "com- 
pany" while  bathing  in  the  surf  by  any 
manner  of  means.  Fifty  are  few  enough, 
but  one  hundred  are  better. 

When  the  declining  sun  crowds  the 
beach  with  promeniiders,  then  it  is  that 
the  most  bashful  and  ditlident  of  the 
ladies  of  the  party  will  emerge  from  the 
little  bathing  houses,  in  a  costume  that 
would  create  a  positive  sensation  in  the 
hotel  parlor,  and  striding  through  the 
rnnks  of  admiring  spectators  with  a  reck- 
less abandon,  wade  boldly  out  into  the 
surf.  Suffer  a  suggestion.  Let  from  two 
to  ten  take  hold  of  hands  in  the  water 
"middle  deep,"  facing  the  audience  and 
with  backs  to  the  sea     The  tlrst  wave  that 


rolls  in  simply  l)i  .s,  but  is  not  large 
enough  to  break.  ue  second,  mayhap,  is 
larger  and  lifts  the  lititheru  from  their  feet ; 
but  save  breath  for  the  traditional 
"seventh  wave":  the  result  of  this  en- 
counter will  generally  be  too  ludicrous  to 
bo  nuriously  described. 

YACHT    FISHING. 

Yacht  riding  and  llshing  will  be  found 
to  be  among  tlie  most  enjoyable  treats  at 
the  sea-shore.  The  modus  operandi  is  as 
follows :  Let  eight  or  ten  malce  up  a  yacht 
party  an<l  engage  any  one  of  the  dozen  or 
more  yacht  proprietors  who  will  be  found 
lying  on  the  sand  of  the  beach  when  dis- 
engaged. The  bargain  should  cover  use  of 
fishing  tackle  and  transportation  from 
dry  land  back  to  dry  land,  and  for  the  time 
intervening,  at  so  much  an  hour. 

The  second  part  consists  in  the  before- 
mentioned  proprietor  rolling  up  his  pants 
and  otherwise  preparing  to  carry  the  gen- 
tlemen on  his  back  a;id  die  ladies  in  his 
arms  to  the  small  boat,  which  he  will 
afterwards  push  tlirouj^h  the  surf  to 
the  yacht,  which  is  lynig  at  anchor 
out  in  deeper  water. 

lIOI8TIN<18AIL, 

The  yacht  will  skiin  out  to  sea,  to  kv 
cations  the  skipper  will  recognize  as 
favorable  tor  lisliing.wliere  anchor  will 
be  cast  and  lishiug  by  (Iroi)-line,  over 
the  side  of  the  boat,  will  be  found  in- 
teresting and  oftentimes  exciting 
sport. 

The  return  trip  simply  reverses  the 
order,  and  is  more  conducive  to  hilar- 
ity than  decorum.

only  in  Quebec)  or  carriage  should  be  taken 
for  the  St.  Loui.s  Hotel,  which  will  be  ex-

breakfast,  a  carriage  that  will  accommo- 
date live  persons  can  be  obtained  for  $.5.00 
for  the  entire  day,  and  as  all  Quebec  hack- 
men  are  lecturers  as  well  as  drivers,  no 
further  suggestions  to  the  tourist  are 
neces.sary.  The  steamer  for  Montreal 
will  leave  about  6  p.m.,  and  should  be 
taken  in  time  to  secure  berths.  These 
may  be  obtained  also  at  the  ticket  office 
opposite  the  St  Johns  hotel.

or  the  north  bank  of  the  St.  Lawrence,  or 
as  they  call  it  here, 

THE  HAN  LAURENT, 

and  upon  a  low  strip  of  river  front  to  the 
east  of  the  bluflf.    The  roofs  of  the  houses 
and  buildings  are  almost  invariably  of  tin, 
which  in  the  bright  sun  and  clear  air  of 
this  northern  climate  flash  and  sparkle  | 
like  silver.    This   brilliant   spectacle   is : 
best  enjoyed  from  the  distance  as  you  drive  ' 
throuffh  the  village  of  Beauport  on  your  \ 
way  to  the  Falls  of  Montmorenci.    Here  ' 
the  effect  is  really  dazzling,  and  you  in- 
v  '.untarily  think  of  the  descriptions  of 
that  City  whose  streets  are  of  "pure  gold,  j 
like  unto  clear  glass,  and  whose  v,alls  are  ! 
garnished  with  all  manner   of  precious : 
stones."    Quebec  is  divided  by  its  loca  I 
tion  into  the  upper  and  lower  towns,  the 
upper  incl'iding  tie  citadel,  being 

ENCLOSED  BY  A  WALL 

Nearly  three  miles  in  length.  This  was 
formerly  pierced  by  five  gates,  now  nearly 
all  dismantled. 

IIISTOniCALLY  CONStDEBED 

It  is  one  of  the  oldest  cities  on  the  conti- 
nent, having  been  founded  in  UK)8,  by 
Ghamplain.  Its  site  was  visited  in  1.5.S5. 
and  possession  taken  of  the  land  in  the 
name  of  the  French,  by  Jacques  Cartier, 
who  erected  there  a  wooden  cross  with 
these  words  inscribed  thereon :  Franciscus 
primus,  Dei  gi;Uia,  Francorura  Ilex,  reg- 
nat.  Quebec  remained  the  seat  of 
French  power  in  America  until  the  de- 
feat of  Montcalm  iii  i^SO.  and  as  it  has  ; 
since  been  the  Queen  of  the  St.  liaw-  '* 
rence,  seated  in  majesty- upon  itsnat-  « 
ural  throne  of  rock,  the  great  fortress 
of  English  strength  in  British  America, 
it  must  possess  great  interest  for  the 
well-informed  tourist. 

THE  CITADEL, 

One  of  the  most  impregnable  of  for- 
tresses, is  always  of  interest  to  visitors. 
It  crowns  the  head  of  the  Promontory 
of  Cape  Diamond,  which  is  an  im- 
mense rock,  .333  feet  above  the  river, 
whose  sides  are  almost  smooth  enough 
to  have  been  hewn,  and  with  its  bris- 
tling cannon  pointing  in  every  direc- 
tion, completely  commands  every  ap- 
proach to  the  cit>,  and  gives  it  the 
name,  "Gibraltar  of  America"  Tlie 
fortilications  are  very  extensive,  covering 
more  tlian  40 acres;  and  three  quarters  of 
a  mile  up  the  river,  on  the  Plains  of 
Abraham,  are  two  Martello  Towers,  con- 
nected with  the  fort  by  undergr  )und  pas- 
sages. The  Citadel  is  kej  t  in  order  by 
British  soldiers,  who  ver  politely  show 
visitort,  svound,  and  point  out  all  that  is 
of  interest. 


DTTRHAM    TERRACE, 

In  the  Upper  Town,  is  a  large  platlovm 
occupying  the  site  of  the  old  castle  of  St. 
Louis,  which  was  burned  in  1834,  and  as 
it  commands  the  same  Hne  prospect  it  is  a 
favorite  promenade.  It  was  erected  by 
Lord  Durham,  hence  its  name.  In  the 
Public  Garden,  near  by,  is  the  elegant 
monument  which  was  placed  there  in  1827, 
to  the  lu'jmory  of  both  Wolfe  ••  i  Mont- 
calm, though  these  two  bra'  .  aemies  fell 
on  the  Plains  of  Abraham,  at  the  close  of 
the  memorable  battle  ot  .Sept.  13,  1759, 
wlven  Canada  was  lost  to  the  French  and 
gained  for  tlie  English.  Wolfe  died  just  as 
the  victory  was  decided,  and  Montcalm  on 
being  told  that  his  wounds  were  fatal, 
said:  "So  much  the  better,  I  shall  not  live 
to  see  the  surrender  of  Quebec."  The 
spot  where  Gen.  Wolfe  fell  is  marked  by 
a  plain  monument  on  the  battle  Held,  and 
is  always  visited  by  tourists.  A  large 
part  of  the  Uppe'-  City  is  occupied  by 
the  buildings  ar.d  grounds  of  great  relig- 
ious corporations,  Laval  University,  the 
Ursulines  and  the  Hotel-Dieu. 

THE  ROMAN  CATHOLIC  CATHEDRAL 

Is  a  large  though  not  very  pretentious 
building,  capable  of  seating  4,000  pesisons. 
The  interior  is  quite  handsome,  but  its 
chief  attractions  are  its  age  lit  was  built 
in  1047 1,  and  the  dne  paintings  by  the  old 
masters  which  it  contains.  In  order  to 
enjoy  these  the  visitor  should  ask  the 
sexton  for  a  catalogue,  which  gives  the 
name  and  location  of  each  picture.  He 
win  also,  if  asked,  (not  otherwise)  show

with  dia;nonds  and  rubies  The  Semi- 
nary Chajiel,  connected  with  this  church, 
contains  many  fine  paintings,  and  should 
be  visited  without  fail.  There  are  many 
other  buildinj^s.  churches,  etc.  which  it 
would  be  interesting  to  visit  if  one  had

for  a  drive  to  the  Falls  of  Montmorenci. 
through  that  quaintest  of  villages.  Beau-

only  two  of  you  who  wish

Jacques  Cartier  across  the  ocean  as  a  gift 


to  Francis  L.  King  of  France.  Soon  after 
leaving  Roche's  Ward,  as  it  is  called,  you 
turn  into  the  macadamized  road  to  Beau- 
port,  tirst  crossing  Dorcliester  Biidge  over 
the  St.  Charles.  Beaunort  is  a  single  street 
running  parallel  with  the  St.  I^awrence 
for  five  miies,  and  far  above  it.  It 
is  a  village  of  long,  narrow  farms, 
those  on  the  south  side  of  the  street 
running  to  the  river,  while  those  on 
the  opposite  side  stretch  away  to 
the  nOrth  The  houses  are  one  story 
liigh,  nearly  all  whiti.,  and  stand 
with  one  corner  to  the  street,  so  as 
to  break  the  force  of  the  fierce  winds 
tliat  flv/eep  up  the  river  in  the  win- 
ter. It  is  the  simplest  of  villages. 
There  are  no  stores,  no  manufacto- 
ries—nothing but  the  little  homes, 
surrounded  oy  their  neat  gardens 
filled  with  brave,  old-fashioned  flow- 
ers and  vigorous  vegetables. 

ISLAND  OF  ORLEANS. 

On  the  road  through  Beauport  a  fine 
view  can  bffhad  of  the  islnnd  of  Orleans,

the  thumb  of  a  mitt^en,  with  almost  verti- 
cal walls  of  rock  entirely  ."xround  it  ex- 
cept where  it  opens  into  the  St  Lawrence. 
When  you  stop  you  are  about  midway  be- 
tween the  opening  and  the  end  of  this 
thumb,  and  directly  opposite  you,  is  one 
of  the  loveliest  of  catanu;ts.  In  the  sum- 
mer, when  the  water  in  the  Montmorenci 
river  is  comparatively  low.the  Falls  num- 
ber some  12  or  16  narrow  silver  ribbons 
fringed  with  lace-like  spray  which  against 
the  dark  brown  rock  aud  abundant  green 
foliage  above  it,  look  iudescribably  beauti- 
ful. They  are  all  united  in  one,  when  the 
water  is  high,  and  plunge  250  feet  to  join 
themselves  with  the  clear  green  waters 
of  the  St.  Lawrence.  At  your  feet  de- 
scends a  staircase  with  frequent  landing 
places,  for  it  is  very  steep,  down  which 
you  can  go  to  the  very  foot  of  the  Falls; 
for  though  you  aro  on  the  opposite  side, 
the  gorge  is  so  narrow,  that  the  sprsy  will 
dash  over  you  as  you  look  u  p.  After  satis- 
fying yourself  with  the  beauty  and  grand- 
ness  of  the  scene,  for  it  combines  the  two 
qualities,  you  will  find  the  drive  back  to

you  a  carriage  as  soon  as  you  have  had 
{  your  breakfast  in  the  morning,  and  going 
'  in  clubs,  two  for  a  calash,  and  five  or  six 
I  for  a  hack,  excursionists  can  easily  visit 
i  all  the  places  above   described,  taking 
them  in  the  order  mentioned,  and  pro- 
:  bably  might  visit  some  of  the  many  other 
places  of  interest  in  or  near  Quebec,  if 
I  they  planned  to  do  so,  and  tried  to  be  ex- 
peditious, and  still  be  ready  for   the  5 
o'clock  boat.  ■ 

.OFF  FOR  MONTREAL. 

Not  the  least  delightful  part  of  the  day 
is  its  closing  hours  on  the  St.  Lawrence. 
The  two  boats  tiiat  run  between  Montre- 
al and   Quebec  are  named   after  these 
cities,  and  are  about  on  a  par  with  the 
Hudson  River  steamers ;  in  other  words, 
are  immense  floating  palaces.    The  viaws 
along  the  banks  of  the  river  are  so  flne 
I  that  one  feels  as  if  he  must  not  lose  the 
I  time  during  the  three  hours  of  day  light  to 
!  go  below  fur  supper,  but  when  he  does  go 
I  he  finds  the  supper  good  and  well  servud. 


SIDE  TRIP  TO  THE  SAGUENAY. 


A  SIDE  trip  has  been  arranged  with 
.r\_  tickets  at  llO.OO  for  a  tliree  days'  trip 
by  steamer  from  Quebec  down  the  St. 
Lawrence  to  the  mouth  of  the  Saguenay, 
thence  up  the  Saguenay  to  and  40  miles 
beyond  Ha  Ha  Bay.  Thus,  instead  of  re- 
turning to  Montreal  by  steamer  on  the  af- 
ternoon of  the  17th  of  July,  (Thursday) 
the  Saguenay  steamer  can  be  substituted, 
which  returns  to  Quebec  on  Monday,  J  uly 
21st.  The  price  of  ticket  («10)  is  a  special 
one  to  members  of  the  excursion  only, 
and  includes  state-room  and  meals. 

OFF  FOR  THE  SAGUENAY 

The  St.  Lawrence  only  begins  to  show 
itself  in  Its  full  majesty  below  (Quebec. 
After  passing  the  Island  of  Orleans  in

finds  the  narrow  channel  broadening  out 
into  a  mighty  stream  wikose  opposite

promenade  decit.  But  let  him  take  a 
parting  glance  at  Quebec  from  the  basin, 
and  note  v.hat  a  splendid  picture  she 
makes;  Cape  Diamond  towering  up  to 
her  crown  of  battlements,  the  city  with 
spire  and  dome  rising  above  the  shining 
roofs,  then  to  the  south  the  uplands  or 
Levis  sloping  away  in  terraces  to  the 
borders  of  Maine.    To  the  north  the  Val- 


ley of  the  St.  Cliarles,  the  long  white  line 
of  Beauport,  with  the  Falls,  first  seen  as 
a  slender  white  thread  tumbling  down, 
then  as  a  broad  'i^nd,  then  as  a  curtain, 
vanishing  as  tl.  head  of  the  Island  of 
Orleans  is  swept  into  view.  This  island 
is  20  miles  long  and  about  five  miles  wide. 
It  has  been  under  cultivation  in  parts  for 
over  two  centuries,  and  has  a  population 
of  about  7,000. 

Below  the  island,  on  the  mainland,  the 
Laurentian   Mountains  form  the  north 
I  shore  of  the  river.    Cap  Tourmente  is  the 
first  spur  of  anv  magnitude  seen     It  is  a 
bold,  picturesque  bluff,  1,900  feet   hi^h. 
I  Ttte  quarantine  station  of  Grosse  Isle  is  a 
I  charming  isliind,  claiming  attention  from 
I  the  fact  that  it  was  one  of  the  barriers  to

watering  place,  the  scenery  is  of  the  most 
enchantniK  cliaracter;  the  eye  feasts  upon 
beauty  with  ever,  mile  of  proj:re88  made. 
Ten  miles  below  the  bay  The  Pilgrims,  a 
a  curious  group  of  islands,  will  be  pointed 
out.  They  are  visible  at  a  great  distance, 
and  what  is  remarkable,  sf  Idom  present 
the  same  appearance  twice  to  the  beliolder. 
The  mirage  is  constantly  present  in  the 
neighborhood  of  these  rocks. 

Riviere  du  Loup,  or  Fraserville,  is  the 
terminus  of  the  Intercolonial  Railway, 
whence  communication  may  \m  had  by 
rail  with  Halifax  and  St.  John,  N.  B. 
Two  splendid  waterfalls  can  be  seen  at 
Riviere  du  Loup,  which  is  a  charming 
summer  resort.  After  a  stoppage  at  Ca- 
couna,  the  Newport  of  Canada,  "the  most 
fashionable  of  summer  resorts,  a  run  of 
20  miler.  due  north  brings  us  to  Tadousac. 
at  the  mouth  of  the  Saguenay.  This  will 
be  about  evening,  and  the  tourist  will  find 
the  advantage  of  some  warm  wraps.  If 
the  day  has  been  warm  the  breeze  from 
the  Saguenay  will  come  down  laden  with 
heat,  however,  from  the  radiation  of  the 
warmth  absorbed  by  the  rocks. 

The  Saguenay  is  a  tremendous  cleft  in 
the  Laurentian  range,  apparently  the 
consequence  of  some  awful  convulsion  of 
nature.  Tadousac,  at  its  mouth,  is  an 
older  settlement  than  Quebec,  and  has  a 
church  which  is  the  most  ancient  on  the 
continent.  The  place  is  very  fashionable, 
and  the  sea  bathing  superb.  The  StLaw- 
rence  here  is  as  salt  as  the  sea.  The 
scenery  is  simply  gorgeous.  Mountain, 
forest  and  flood  going  to  make  up  a  whole 
which  cannot  well  be  described  in  re- 
stricted space.  From  this  point  to  Chi- 
coutimi,  about  100  miles,  the  highest 
point  to  which  the  steamer  ascends,  there 
IS  hardly  a  foot  of  the  way  lacking  in  in- 


terest and  grandeur  Almost  at  every 
turn  new  beauties  are  discovered:  here  a 
placid  bay.  theie  a  green  island  rising  out 
of  the  dark  waters,  yonder  foaming  cas- 
cades, tumbling  over  precipitous  rocks,  a 
quarter  of  a  mile  at  a  bound !  The  shores 
rise  from  the  water  in  inaccessible  cliffs, 
browti  and  bare  sr.ve  for  here  and  there  a 
scrambling  dwarf  pine  or  a  few  blue-ber- 
ry bushes  There  is  no  beach  In  some 
places  tlio  steamer  might  run  beside  the 
rocks  and  have  1,000  feet  of  water  under 
lier  keel.  It  is  remarkable  that  the  Sag- 
uenay is  very  much  deeper  than  the  St. 
J>awfencp.  Into  some  of  its  depths  plum- 
met has  never  yet  found  bottom. 

Al!  is  rugged,  huge  and  impressive  in 
this  mysterious  river.  Two  appalling 
headlands  are  those  which  guard  the  en- 
trance to  Eternity  Bay,  Capes  TrinlVy  and 
Eternity.  Cape  Trinity  is  composed  of 
three  immense  bluffs,  some  1900  feet  high. 
Cape  Eternity  is  but  little  inferior  in 
height,  and  neither  have  equals  in  rugged 
majesty  in  the  world.  One  feels,  when 
the  steamer  glides  by,  a  sort  of  sensation 
tiiat  the  rock  is  about  to  topple  over.  The 
echoes  in  the  Saguenay  are  superb  and  as- 
tonishing. As  Ha  Ila  is  reached  and 
the  vessel  steams  across  its  land-locked 
waters,  one  begins  to  feel  a  regret  at  not 
being  able  to  stay  and  have  a  shy  at  the 
numerous  accessible  amusements  of 
shooting,  fishing,  swimming.  But  the 
stoppage  is  short,  and  after  a  few  hours' 
stay  we  move  on  to  Chicoutimi,  at  the 
foot  of  Lake  St.  John.  The  return  voy- 
age is  equally  pleasing  ^rith  the  descent, 
for  the  boats  are  excellently  kept,  the 
table  is  luxurious,  the  hotels  along  the 
route  well  kept,  and  the  company  gener- 
ally entertaining. 


SIDE-TRIP  TO  SARATOGA. 


WHILE  at  Montreal,  after  the  return 
from  Quebec  by  steamer  on  the  St. 
Lawrence,  (one  of  the  most  enjoya- 
ble portions  of  the  route,  as  the  steamers 
are  little  short  of  floating  palaces)  two  or 
three  days  could  not  be  more  profitably 
spent  than  in  taking  a  run  "  up  to  Sara- 
toga and  back.  Side  trip  tickets  will  be 
for  sale  to  those  holding  our  gener  il  ex- 
cursion tickets  only,  at  the  ticket  stand 
in  the  office  rotunda  of  the  Windsor  Ho- 
tel The  tickets  will  be  good  either  way 
by  steamer  or  railway,  and  for  the  round 
trip  from  Montreal  to  Saratoga  and  re- 
turn the  price  will  be  ftl2.50. 

The  tourist  can  hardly  select  a  route 
anywhere  in  this  country  upon  which  in 
the  same  distance  there  is  so  much  to  be 
seen  of  deep  interest  au  that  from  Mon- 
treal, through  Lake  Champtain  and  Lake 


George,  to  Saratoga  and  return.  Some  of 
thfe  finest  lake  scenery  in  the  world  is  en- 
joyed, while  the  route  lies  through  the 
most  stubbornly  contested  regions  of  the 
revolutionary  war,  and  is  rich  in  antiqua- 
rian remains.  Besides  all  this  the  tc  rist 
has  a  glimpse  of  the  most  fashionable 
watering-place  life  on  the  American  con- 
tinent. 

Leaving  Montreal,  the  first  object  to  at' 
tract  attention  is  the  magnificenc  Victoria 
bridge  upon  which  we  cross  to  the  south 
bank  of  the  St.  Lawrence.  Some  very 
pretty  country  engages  our  attention  till 
we  reach 

the;  national  boundary, 

Two  hours  ride  from  Montreal.  The  line 
here  is  not  marked  by  any  natural  con- 
formation of  river  or  mountain  range.

but  is  simply  an  arbitrary  line  like  that 
i  dividing  one  township  from  another.  It 
will  be  i>ointed  out,  however,  by  tlie  brake- 
man  or  crnductor,  and  ip  an  object  of  in- 
terest to  most  travelers.  At  the  point 
where  this  line  crosses  the  Uiver  lliclielieu 
the  outlet  of  Lake  Champlain,  stands  the 
old  revolutionary  fort  Montgomery,  still 
maintained  by  the  United  States  govern- 
ment as  commanding  the  outlet  of  Lake 
Champlain,  and  which  may  easily  he  seen 
from  the  railroad. 

At  Plnttsburg  we  may,  if  we  choose, 
.dke  a  branch  road  to  . 

THE  FAMOU.S  XV  SABLK  CHASM, 

One  of  the  grandest  canons  to  be  found 
1  east  of  the  Rocky  Mountains;  or  if  we de 
sire  to  push  on  we  have  the  option  of  con- 
tinuing our  journey  by  rail  or  taking  the 
steamer  on  Lake  Champlain.    If  we  take 
;  tlie  rail  we  shall  have  more  time  at  Fort 
I  Ticonderoga,   and    those  of  antiquarian 
i  tastes  will  select  that  mode  of  travel ;  but 
■  all  who  want  to  enjoy  the  most  magnifi- 
j  cent  half  day's  steamboating  they  ever 
experienced  will  remain  over   night  at 
^  Plattsburg,  and  bright  and   early   next 
morning  take  the  fine  steamer  Vermont 
for 

A  SAIL  UP  LAKE  CHAMPLAIN. 

The  lake  is  narrow  and  smooth.  On 
either  aide  rise  grandly  the  Green  Mou:i- 
tains  of  Vermont  and  the  Adirondacks  of 
New  York.  We  touch  at  Burlinjfton,the 
chief  city  of  the  Green  Mountain  State, 
but  all  our  oth?r  stops  are  on  the  west  or 
New  York  shore  of  the  lake.  At  Fort 
Henry  extensive  iron  works  attract  the 
attention,  and  a  little  beyond,  the  old  for- 
tifications of  Crown  Point,  which  the 
reader  of  revolutionary  history  will  asso- 
ciate with  the  early  scenes  of  the  war. 
They  should  be  pointed  out  by  the  cap- 
tain, as  they  are  not  identical  with  the 
stopping  place  known  as  Crown  Point. 
A  fine  dinner  is  obtainable  on  the  boat, 
and  soon  thereafter  the  lake  narrows  to  a 
mere  river,  and,  metaphorically,  we  pass 
under  the  guns  of 

FOBT  TICONDEKOGA. 

Its  ruined  buildings  are  plainly  seen 
from  the  boat,  but  the  distance  is  such 
from  the  landing  place  that  they  are  not 
easily  vipited  unless  we  stop  over  on  pur- 
pose. Fort  Ticonderoga  was  probably 
the  strongest  fortilication  that  figured  in 
revolutionary  history,  unless  it  be  that  of 
Quebec.  It  was  built  by  the  French  just 
prior  to  their  surrender  of  Canada  to  the 
British,  and  is  s;  id  to  have  cost  some  mil- 
lions of  dollars. 

A  short  bit  of  lailroad  carries  us  up  an 
elevation  of  240  feet  to  Baldwin,  at  the 
foot  of

SUNDAY-SCHOOL  TEACHERS' 


FIVE  YEARS'  RECORD  BOOK, 


npiIK  denitind  for  increased  facilities  inSunaay-School  werli.ju8tifie8theanno^nce- 
l  raent  of  tlie  above  named  work,  which  has  been  designeil  and  copyrighted  by  W. 

HT  Breaulky,  Detroit,  Mich.  *  ' 

It  contains  at  least  kour  features  that  are  new  and  distinct  from  other  forms  of 

record. 
First.— The  flr8t  four  pa^^es  are  devoted  to  an  "enrollment"  of  the  members  of  the 

class  in  the  handwriting  ol  the  pupils;  these  signatures  fo'low  and  subscribe  to  an 

agreement  concerning  attendance,  etc. 
Second.— From  54  to  104  pages  (according  to  the  size  of  the  book)  are  given  for  an 

INDIVIDUAL  record,  of  not  only  the  attendance  and  absence  of  the  pupil,  but  of  the 

cause  of  absence  and  items  of  personal  history  concerning  losldence,  conversion,  etc.. 

etc ,  etc.    The  mannei  of  keeping  this  record,  which  is  fully  explained  in  the  book. 

REQUIRES  that  the  teacher  become  intimately  acquainted  with  each  of  the  pupils. 

by  visiting  the  absentees. 
Third.— Eight  pages  in  the  back  of  the  book  are  given  for  a  recora  of  the  history 

of  the  class  as  a  whole;  such  a  record  would  be  invaluable  to  many  teachers,  who 

have  trusted  to,  buv  have  been  betrayed  by,  their  memory. 
Fourth.— The  record  is  permanent,  as  few  pupils  remain  in  one  class  more  than 

five  years,  and  there  are  enougli  pages  for  new  pupils.    The  book  contains  an  index. 

and  a  place  for  the  record  of  visitors,  cootributions,  and  class  attendance.    As  two 

leaves  can  be  used  for  the  record  of  a  single  pupil,  the  book  can  be  used  for  a  ten 

years'  record  without  change. 
The  book  is  something  entirely  new  and  unique. 

It  is  bound  in  black  cloth,  with  title  embossed  in  gold  letter.  '  '  ' 

It  is  H»  convenient  as  it  is  handsome.  '     , 

Tlie  book  is  the  outgrowth  of  experience  rather  than  a  mere  theory, '     .     f

It  U  a  Kmall  vlllujce  of  liOO  InhaoitantM,  lu  the 
north-rant  sedlrn  of  Vermont,  cloMe  to  the 
BouDitary  line.  It  Ih  li)oule<(  on  the  UniuU 
Trunli  Kallroad,  midway  boiwven  MontrealanU 
Portland,  the  dl'ttiince  to  each  city  belnv  lAO 
mlira.  A  point  wherrat  all  traluN  Ntop  from 
one  to  two  uoum  for  mealR.  and  the  examina- 
tion of  paaiengem'  baicgage  going  ni  and  com- 
ing out  or  Canada.  Connected  with  all  uartH  of 
Ihi*  Dominion  and  the  Unltfd  Htatei  by  tele- 
graph. 

The  village  Ih  Hituati-d  on  a  height  of  land 
over  13INI  feet  above  the  level  of  the  Rea,  th"  di- 
viding point  or  water  Bhed  Into  the  AMantlu  to 
the  Houlh  and  the  Uuir  of  St.  Ijawrnuoe  to  the 
nortn,  and  with  Its  noticeably  pure  and  bracing 
atmo«phere,  the  plaoe  U  one  of  the  most  health- 
ful luDuntaln  towuH  In  New  Kngland.  The 
country  lying  about  In  almoKt  an  unbroken 
wlldurneRH,  with  clearlnus  however,  made  by 
the  tire  or  axe,  with  a  plentiful  pruportlon  of 
mountulHRand  hllli. 

Mount  Bluir,  an  eminence  1200  feet  high,  risen 
abruptly  on  the  north  of  the  village.  And  from 
Itaaumtnlt,  three  mlleR  diHtant,  a  magnificent 
view  may  be  obtained.  The  White  MouiitalnH 
of  New  IlampHhire,  certain  parts  of  the  tjreeii 
Mountain  Range,  and  Owl'8  Head,  rising  from 
the  (tide  of  Luke  .Memphremagng,  In  Canada, 
■  re  ail  dUtlncUy  viHlble,  with  an  Intervening 
ezpanan  of  fortst,  mountain,  river  and  lake, 
which,  once  seen,  can  hardly  fade  from  the 
memory. 

The  name,  tiland  Pond,  ImplleH  that  there  Is 
water  near  by.  The  vllJa'^e  Is  located  upon  the 
bankH  ofu  mountain  lake,  three  and  on«-haif 
miles  long,  and  one  mile  wide,  and  the  view  of 
this  picturesque  sheet  of  water,  with  Its  promt- 


nenl  Island  In  the  foreground.  Is  one  of  th« 
iharacterlstloof  the  plaoe.  During  the  summer 
months  a  small  Hleaui  yacht  piles  for  the  con- 
venience of  pleasure  parMoM.  while  small  crari, 
from  the  tidy  sail  boat  to  theba.  oanoe.  are  al- 
so to  be  found.  If  desired,  There  are  tour 
churches  lu  the  place. 

To  the  lover  or  the  rod  and  line.  Island  Pond 
furnishes  strong  attrncMons.  In  the  vicinity  or 
the  hotels,  ranging  rroin  one  to  sixteen  mlleN 
distant,  are  nrteen  mountain  lakes,  itiul  numer- 
ous Hlrer.mk,  which  can  be  rniiehed  some  by 
train  In  tweniy  minutes,  and  others  by  an 
hour's  drive  over  good  roads  and  through  the 
most  picturesmin  pans  of  the  stale.  All  these 
waters  abound  In  trout  from  the  small  pan  flsh 
to  the  noble  three  and  four  pounder,  and  so 
easy  of  access  that  ladles  witn  a  tasle  for  the 
gentle  art,  can  enjoy  a  day's  trout  fishing.  To 
the  lover  of  camp  life,  tramps  or  live  and  ten 
miles  through  the  foiest,  with  really  good  fish- 
ing attbeeiid,  repay  him  for  his  exertions. 

It  remains  to  say  a  word  as  to  the  boarding 
accommodations  of  the  place.  There  are  two 
large  hotels,  connected  l)y  a  covered  walk,  and 
now  under  the  same  ni.inagement.  Theolderof 
these,  the  I8I.A.ND  I'oND  Housk,  has  been  long 
and  most  favorably  known  to  the  traveling 
public.  The  house  with  which  this  Is  connect- 
ed, the  Htkwart  House,  Is  modern  In  its  ap- 
pointments, and  but  Just  finished  and  opened. 
This  second  iiousu  atone  contains  slxCy-three 
sleopli'r  apartments ;  It  has  wide  and  l>eautlful 
plaszas  .rom  whlih  unsurpassed  views  of  the 
surrounding  oount-y  can  be  obt^lued. 

Its  flrst-clasa  hotel  accommodations,  beauti- 
ful drives  and  rides,  flue  boating  and  fishing, 
and  plctures<iue  scenery,  the  advantages  of  two 
dally  mallii,  telegraph  ofllces,  and  a  direct  rail 
route,  cannot  fail  to  render  Island  Pone'  the 
popular  resort  I'ur  the  tourist,  artist,  business 
man  and  disciple  of  Walton. 


THE  NIAGARA   HOUSE, 


That  ptM'tlon  of  the  traveling  public  which  has 
been  more  or  less  aciiualnted  with  the  appear- 
ance and  hotel  acconimodalions  of  tl>e  Niagara 
House,  at  Niagara  Falls,  during  the  u  any  years 
of  Its  existence— a  perliHl  cohering  ihe  better 
portion  of  Niagara's  popi7larlty  as  an  Amerlcim 
summer  resort— will  Hoc',  that  ancient  hostelrle 
so  changed  la  Its  Internal  arrangements  and 
furnishing,  under  Its  now  luunagement,  that  Its 
former  proprietors  would  hardly  recognize  the 
place.  Since  the  retirement  of  Messrs.  Lewis  d- 
t>avle,and  the  Rub8e({ueut  decision  of  Mr.  K.  D. 
Porter,  the  owner  of  the  property,  to  lurnlsh 
and  run  the  hotel  himself,  the  house  has  been 
thoroughly  and  completely  renovated  fi-om  cel- 
lar to  garret.  The  ceilings  have  been  frescoed, 
the  walls  papered,  the  wood-work  painted,  the 
balls  and  stairways  dressed  with  new  carpets, 
and  every  room  in  the  bouse  newly  fitted  up 
with  handsome  carpeting,  elegant  furniture, 
and  every  modern  hotel  convenience.  The  en-  i 
trance   to  the   hotel  has  been  enlar>  eU,  nwv  I 


I  doors  hung,  the  windows  to  the  reception-room 
'  lowered,  the  office  greatly  Improved  In  appear- 
ance, tbe  parlors   lastefiilly  and   handsomely 
rurnUbed,  the  bar  rearranged  and  newly  fitted 
I  up.  a  barber-shop  and  wash-room  provided,  the 
I  ktt<.!hen   thoroughly  overhauled,  and  even  tbe 
I  grounds  surrounding  tbe  hotel  have  shared  In 
the  general  renovation,  of  the  property.    The 
'  hotel  as  It  now  stands  Is  as  neat  and  cosy  a 
'  public  Inn  ais  any  vlwitor  with  ordinary  wants 
could  desire.    It  Is  to  be  run  as  a  |2  per  day 
bouse,  and   with  the  accommodations  It  fur- 
i  nlshes  the  hotel  ought  to  become  very  popular 
t  with  a  good   portion   of  the  traveling  public. 
The  management  of  the  house   has  bee'n  en- 
trusted to  Mr   Banford  Wheaton,  a  gentleman 
qualified  by  experience  and  ability  to  most  sat- 
isfactorily discharge  the  duties  of  a  landlord, 
Mr.  Stewart  Porter,  a  son  of  the  owner  of  the  ho- 
tel. Is  associated  with  Mr.  Wheaton  In  the  maa- 
agement  of  the  bouse.

superior  instruction.  The  counting-house  system  of  actual  business,  the  best  ever 
introduced,  is  used  at  this  institution,  requiring  a  bank,  busine-ss  offices,  board  of 
trade,  etc.,  giving  it  fsicilities  for  obtaining  a  kn:"wledge  of  accounts,  business  papers 
and  business  customs  not  possessed  by  any  similar  institution.

Mr.  Smith  has  a  private  office  In  the  front  of 
the  lioor  above  hi*  Jewelry  salesroom,  so  ar-

"  I  understand  that  you  are  not  now  using  tha

"No,not  at  all.  I  have  tried  a  great  many

"I  was  going  to  Hay— I  commenced  lifting  at 
Karnsworth's  rooms,  i^nd  was  so  much  pleased 
and  benefited  that  I  bought  one  of  bis  machines 
and  put  it  In  my  gymnasium,  but  It  took  up  so 
muon  room  that  i  was  foolish  enough  to  ex- 
change It  for  one  of  the  little  machines  that 
have  been  sold  in  In  the  city,  but  which  are 
comparatively  worthless." 

"How  so?" 

"It  seems  to  be  constructed  on  a  wrong  prin- 
cipio,  for  there  is  no  elasticity  about  It,  and  It 
Is  much  inferior  to  the  larger  and  "reactionary" 
im.  It  Is  so  much  inferior  that  I  do  not  use  It 
at  all."

Last  season  and  this,  extensive  and  niodern  improvements  were  made,  and  it  now 
has  comfortable  accommodation  for  JOO  gnests.  Tlie  rooms  i.re  large  and  airy,  all 
lighted  by  coal  givs.  The  olHces  and  dining  rooms  are  spacious,  weli-lightcil  apart- 
ments, and  the  latter  can  seat  400  guests.  Tlie  cuisine,  needs  no  recommendation  to 
former  patrons,  and  it  is  auflllcient  to  siy  that  the  rejjutatton  of  the  house  will  be 
sustained  in  tliis  respect.  A  large  building, remote  onougli  from  the  main  structure 
to  prevent  annoyance,  but  connected  by  walks,  is  devoted  entirely  to  pleiisure.  It 
contains  a  fine  Billiard  Room,  Bowling  Alleys,  lee  Cream  and  Wine  Kooins.  On  the 
second  floor  is  a  spacious  Dancing  Hall,  Ladies'  and  Gentlemen's  Parlors,  leading 
from  whicli  are  Dressing  Rooms,  etc 

A  Barber  Shop,  Launtiry  and  Livery  Stable  are  among  the  conveniences. 

The  location,  with  the  lake  only  a  few  feet  in  front,  a  splendid  gn)ve  on  the  left, 
the  only  bathing  beach  on  the  Island  but  a  short  distance  in  the  rear,  is  one  that  is 
not  equaled  i)y  any  otlier  hotel  on  the  Island.  The  chief  cliarm  of  the  house  is,  how- 
ever, its  home-like  comfort  and  elegance  -two  things  so  seldom  found  at  watering- 
place  hotels— and  guests  may  be  assured  that  they  will  receive  every  attention  tliat 
will  make  tlieir  stay  nieasantand  agreeable  in  every  respect.
